Squishy will be happy.

NYR Boyler87 · 11-23-2010, 03:08 PM

Thank God Williams is gone!

Bickel doesn't seem like much of anything but they may just want to shake-up Hartford.

Squishy will be very happy.

What was the deal with Williams? I remember when we acquired him then I don't think I've seen his name since. IIRC, he wasn't listed among our HF Top 20

Terrible attitude. Low work ethic.

Ducks seem to be our minor garbage trade partners.

I was thinking the same thing. There defensive depth is not very good.

Sather dumped a future first pairing Dman for a scrub. Anyone who calls Sather a trade genius should have their posting rights revoked.

Worst trade since we gave up Alex Bourret for a draft pick.

hpNYR · 11-23-2010, 03:22 PM

Another physical defensmen. It's obvious the direction this franchise is going.

He's got to be. Nigel Williams was awful.

BringBackLibertys · 11-23-2010, 03:24 PM

When it first came up I read Williams for Stewed Pickles.

Fitzy · 11-23-2010, 03:25 PM

For the record, Bourret was in the ECHL last year, and now is in the ASIA LEAGUE.

The pick we got for Bourret, was Kundratek, who is currently one of our best dmen in the AHL.

Read absolutely nothing into this trade. It has nothing to do with the Rangers. It was merely done to cut a cancer out of the Pack's locker room. I wouldn't be entirely shocked if Bickel ends up in the ECHL.

(And hell yes, I'm happy Williams is finally gone.)

I was about to ask if anyone knew who we picked with that pick.

That's good **** right there.

Obviously it has nothing to do w/ the Rangers. Bickel will never amount to anything, we all know this. It's the philosophy i'm seeing about addressing character, grit, toughness, being a pain in the ass-- up and down the organization whether it be on the NHL, AHL, OR ECHL level.

They'll probably tell Bickel to go back to Elmira.

Who are the 'Pack defenseman now?

Redden-Kundratek
Valentenko-?
McDonagh-Niemi
