Trades are a fact of life in the NHL and the New York Rangers have had their fair share of notable ones
Ask a New York Rangers fan about the biggest trade in team history and the answer will inevitably be the 1975 deal between the Blueshirts and the Boston Bruins. Jean Ratelle, Brad Park and Joe Zanussi went to Beantown in exchange for Phil Esposito and Carol Vadnais. That was a swap of three future members of the Hall of Fame.
It worked out for both team.
