I don't get the trade from the Rangers side. The Oilers are getting an older player who has had a couple of seasons after being drafted so you have a better idea what you are getting vs drafting a 17 yr old. He was on Stauffer's show and said there was a a contract being worked on as we speak so I would bet it gets announced today.
I like the trade. The lower you draft a guy, the less chance there is they make it. So a 3rd round player probably has a better chance of making it than a 5th rounder. Plus the fact you have been able to watch the player for 2 more years post draft.

He wasn’t going to sign with NYR, and would re-enter the draft I believe. Rangers chose to trade his rights away and get something for him.
Clean house or bust
