Brady Skjei Trade

Skjei was traded to Carolina for a first round pick at the deadline. While cap space was one motivation it was his pending no trade clause that expedited it. Read all about here.

Derek Stepan was a foreshadowing for trading Brady Skjei

No Call Up For Kreider?

Also today we discussed who the Rangers may call up today for Kreider. We mentioned Steven Fogarty, Vinni Lettieri, and Vitali Kravtsov but it is unlikely to happen by tomorrow. There were no scratches for tonight’s Wolf Pack game against Bridgeport.

Playoff Watch

The Islanders lost to Boston and the Hurricanes are down against Montreal 3-1 with a period to play.
