Rangers Deal Smith Add Soucy In Trades
Rangers General Manager Chris Drury continued his remaking of the Rangers roster with a pair of trades that sent veteran Reilly Smith back to Vegas, and acquired defenseman Carson Soucy from the Vancouver Canucks and prospect center Brendan Brisson from the Vegas Golden Knights. Both moves serve Drury’s goal of remaking the roster, acquiring a […]
Drury Signals Intent With Trade
It has been a question on the mind of many of the Rangers faithful for some weeks now, what is Chris Drury going to do at this year’s trade deadline. Today we got the answer, with the trade of Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey to the Colorado Avalanche along with prospect Hank Kempf in exchange […]
There’s No Business Like Show Business
Chris Drury was apparently given a proposition he couldn’t refuse: adding Patrick Kane to an already very skilled line-up. The move came after the former Blackhawk used his NMC leverage to force Chicago GM Kyle Davidson into negotiating with one team – the New York Rangers. It’s been a bit of a circus in the last week, what […]
Motte Rejoins Rangers
With twelve days until the March 3rd NHL trade deadline, Rangers GM Chris Drury made his second move, bringing back fourth line winger Tyler Motte to the Blueshirts. In exchange, the Rangers sent right wing Julien Gauthier, along with a conditional seventh round pick in this year’s draft, with the pick turning into the lower of the two sixth rounders […]
Rangers Call In The Copp
Rangers GM Chris Drury rounded out his first NHL Trade Deadline as General Manager with his biggest move this season, acquiring forward Andrew Copp from the Winnipeg Jets for some picks and prospect Morgan Barron. The move means that Drury has added four forwards and a defenseman to the existing roster, without giving up a player on the team. The […]
Tyler Motte Acquired From Vancouver
In his third move of the day, Chris Drury added fourth line forward Tyler Motte from the Vancouver Canucks, in exchange for a 2023 4th round pick. Motte marks the third forward that Drury has acquired this deadline, joining wing Frank Vatrano acquired three days ago, and depth forward Nicholas Merkley added from San Jose earlier in the day. With the addition of […]
Rangers Add Some Braun To Their Back End
Chris Drury continues to tread cautiously, adding defenseman Justin Braun from the Philadelphia Flyers for a 2023 third round pick. The 34 year old Braun has played for both the Sharks and Flyers, and will be a UFA this Summer. A right hander, the 6-2 203lb Minnesotan can play both sides, so it remains to be seen what […]
Trade Options: Alexandar Georgiev
Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev was a topic of conversation for many over the Summer, with a handful of teams reportedly having interest in the Bulgarian born netminder. As it turned out, the Rangers either chose to keep him, or could not find a deal that made sense. In fact, the Rangers opened their season with Georgiev in net […]
Let’s Not Make A Deal
April 12th, 2021 and the NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone without the New York Rangers making any deals. In all fairness, the Rangers weren’t expected to make any changes, though the possibility remained for some of their pending UFAs and those with a year or less on their contracts being in play. Also […]
Captain Gone
For the second time in the last five NHL trade deadlines, the New York Rangers traded their captain to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The teams announced a blockbuster which sent defenseman Ryan McDonagh and forward J.T. Miller to the Lightning right before Monday’s deadline. In 2014, the Blueshirts sent then-captain Ryan Callahan to Tampa Bay as part of a package for Martin St. Louis. […]
