Before the trade deadline, the Rangers acquired Spooner, a 1st round pick, prospect Ryan Lindgren and Matt Beleskey for Rick Nash.
At first Spooner may have seemed like a throw-in, but it only took a few games to seem like more than that.
Spooner started his Rangers career on a tear. He recorded 13 points in his first eight games. 11 of those 13 points were assists.
Spooner has always been a player who racks up assists,. He 113 thus far into his career.
That was no different is his short time in New York as he showed off his spectacular playmaking skill in those first eight games, adding a spark to the Rangers lineup.
