Reunanen Traded To Hurricanes
In a minor league move today, the Rangers sent defenseman Tarmo Reunanen to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Russian center Maxim Letunov. Neither player is eligible to play in the NHL playoffs as a result of the trade coming after the NHL Trade Deadline, but with today being the deadline for the AHL, both will be able to play for their new AHL clubs, should they qualify for the post-season.
The 24 year old Reunanen was a 4th round draft pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, and played 4 games last season, as the club dealt with several injuries on defense. He proved to be a good blueliner, with an above average pass and a little offense to his game, and even picked up an assist and a +1 rating, to go with 5 shots in his stint.
