Rangers trade Howden to the Golden Knights
New York Rangers: The Rangers have acquired Nick DeSimone and a 2022 fourth-round pick from the Vegas Golden Knights for Brett Howden.
Frozen Tools: “Since a decent rookie showing he has trended down since. Can he get back on track with a change of scenery? Small opportunity in Vegas after Cody Glass trade…”
Brett Howden, traded to VGK, is uh uh hmm umm 23 years old #VegasBorn pic.twitter.com/tsz9amwkpR

Rangers acquire Goodrow
New York Rangers: The Rangers send a 2022 seventh-round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for the rights to Barclay Goodrow.
David Pagnotta: It’s sounding like the Rangers and Goodrow are already closing in on a contract.
Andy Graziano: “As far as the #nyr go, if they can sign Goodrow, that’s a hell of a deal for them and a player they sorely need. Not sure I agree with getting rid of Howden just yet.”
Dan Rosen: “Rangers get the rights to sign Barclay Goodrow, who can be UFA on July 28. Goodrow would be a solid addition, an in your face third-liner, PK guy who started a lot of games for Tampa Bay and was on the ice late in a lot of one goal games too. They also trade Howden to the VGK.”
E.J. Hradek: “Barclay Goodrow, 28, will be a very helpful player for @NYRangers or whoever signs him. The value for GMs, however, is finding the next Barclay Goodrow-type player. They are out there. Goodrow was undrafted. Last season, his AAV was a bargain 925k.”
Barclay Goodrow, UFA rights traded to NYR, is a low-event bottom six forward who was kind of a “more than the sum of its parts” glue guy on a really good line. #NYR pic.twitter.com/ZOGREnVzNo
