Rangers Open Up With Blockbuster Trade
Glen Sather has kicked off the Rangers’ summer with a blockbuster deal that has sent Scott Gomez to the Montreal Canadiens along with prospects Tom Pyatt and Michael Busto in exchange for Christopher Higgins, Doug Janik, Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko.
The move transfers the remaining five years (at just over $7.3M per year) of the Alaskan native’s contract to Montreal and frees up some substantial cap space ahead of tomorrow’s July 1st free agency period.
