Game 19: Poetic justice
The Rangers are back home tonight to take on the Florida Panthers, who are stuck in a fit of mediocrity at the moment. But while the game is the focus of the players, most fans have their eyes on the return of Keith Yandle and Dylan McIlrath. Yandle was shipped to Florida before the draft and eventually signed there, while McIlrath was traded this month.
But here’s the irony. The Rangers traded Steven Kampfer to Florida to open roster space for Anthony Duclair. Duclair was traded in the deal for Yandle. McIlrath was traded to Florida and got Kampfer in return. Now McIlrath lives with Yandle. Full circle.
