Icon25 Nick Holden from Colorado to NYR for 4th in 2017

http://www.tsn.ca/rangers-get-d-hold...-pick-1.515491

He logged 20 minutes a night made $1.65 million and all they get is a 4th?

I didn't think he was bad from what I saw. They have a surplus of D men to replace him? Even a 5-6 level guy at 1.65 isn't bad to have around. "Fleecing" is bit much.

I can't understand how edmonton was not all over this! What a joke! It's almost like they have an irrational fear of Defensemen.

Holden is just more of what they have though: A half a dozen Chris Butlers with different names. Why add another?

Holden may have averaged 20 minutes a night but those are not quality minutes. He is downright terrible.
