The Rangers were eliminated from the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Florida Panthers.
Initially interested in Max Pacioretty from the Washington Capitals, who ultimately decided to stay in D.C, the Rangers turned their attention to Jack Roslovic from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
They reached an agreement to acquire him, marking a significant shift in strategy.
The trade included a conditional fourth-round pick for the 2026 draft, which, despite hopes, will not be upgraded to a third-round pick, as indicated in a later update.
