Blueshirts Acquire Defenseman Justin Falk
The Rangers-Wild connection continued today, with a trade of depth players between the two organizations. It’s the seventh trade in the last eleven seasons, and third in the past two years. New York has also signed former Wild players Derek Boogaard and Marian Gaborik over that period, keeping it a strong relationship between the clubs.
This time around it was 6-5, 215lb defender Justin Falk, who was drafted by the Wild in the 4th round of the 2007 draft, and has played parts of four seasons with the club. Falk has 1 goal, 14 assists and 100 penalty minutes in 108 NHL games, and played his first four playoff games this past spring.
