NHL Trade Analysis: Rangers Trade Michael Grabner to New Jersey

The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers made a trade. That’s right! New Jersey sent a 2018 second round pick and Yagor Rykov for the services of Michael Grabner.

What Michael Grabner Brings To New Jersey

Again, Taylor Hall is basically a third of the team’s offense when it comes down to it.
