to add to that, the Rangers completed a total of four deals yesterday.
To COL: Colton Parayko, Alex Lyon, $6m
To NYR: Zach Whitecloud, Martin Jones, 2026 1st (COL), 2026 2nd (OTT)
To WSH: Damon Severson, $3m
To NYR: Brennan Othmann, Radim Simek, 2026 2nd (ANA)
To TB: 1.9m next year
To NYR: 1.5m this year
To LA: 1.9m next year
To NYR: 1.5m this year
With the latter two deals necessary to make the cheese work. Initially wanted to see whether I can flip one of Parayko and Severson, but I liked the offers I got and so I ended up trading both. Took a bit of work to get there, but I'm happy with the future pieces we've picked up. Othmann hasn't put it all together yet, but I think he will eventually. Adding three quality picks in 2026 obviously the main motivation for these deals, especially getting a 1st. At worst, those picks will be decent trade chips.
Also worth noting that my three big UFA signings from the offseason (Monahan, Parayko and Lyon) have now all been flipped and turned into Alex DeBrincat, Zach Whitecloud, a 2026 1st round pick and a 2026 2nd round pick (and Martin Jones, I guess). For a rebuilding team, I think that makes a lot of sense.
Thanks to Paulie Walnuts and Macho0978 for the deals, and thanks to agulati and Harry Lime for the cap deals as well. Also thanks to the other GMs who enquired, this was fun!
