In an attempt to bolster the roster and improve the on-ice performance, the Rangers have been busy so far this offseason. The focus being on RFA-aged talent that can help the team now AND tomorrow, and so we have struck a number of deals these past few days.

To EDM: G Phil Grubauer
To NYR: G Mike Condon, D Andrew Peeke, 2019 3rd
Happened a while ago, but included for the sake of completeness. We like Grubauer a lot, but felt we benefited from bringing in a promising D prospect and another draft pick. Hopefully Condon can rebound after a brutal season for the whole Sens team.

To ANA: 2018 1st (27th)
To NYR: F Yanni Gourde
Starving for forward talent, the Rangers decided to take a flyer on a late-bloomer that burst onto the NHL scene with 25 goals and 64 points for the Lightning. We hope that Gourde can build on a very promising rookie season and give us a much-needed offensive spark.

To EDM: two 2019 2nds, 2019 3rd, 2019 5th
To NYR: D Marco Scandella
Another deal with the Oilers sees us re-united with one of my former Leafs player. Having quite a few draft picks at hand, we decided to move a few for an RFA-aged defenseman who put together a solid NHL campaign after being traded to Buffalo, logging over 23 minutes of ice-time per game.

To PHI: D Jacob Larsson, two 2018 2nds (30th and 56th), 2019 2nd
To NYR: D Hampus Lindholm, 2018 3rd (73rd)
Our biggest trade of the offseason to date gives us a young top-pairing defenseman and therefore a massive upgrade on the blueline. Moving on from a quality prospect in Larsson and a couple of nice picks was tough, but it should improve our defensive stability massively.

------------------------------------------------------

Feel there's been a slight overpayment here or there on my part, but overall I'm pretty happy with the influx of talent so far. In general I have to say that I'm really enjoying all the trade talks, it's been a lot of fun and I realize how much I missed that last season.

Thanks a lot to savardandjokinen, I wanna be like Miikka and JonDuke for the deals! Hopefully more to come from the Rangers soon.
