Ryan Graves, the one who got away
There are always minor trades made in the NHL and the New York Rangers are no exception. Last February the Blueshirts made a deal that got no attention, but it appears to be one they will regret.
The February 26, 2018 trade was inconsequential. The New York Rangers and the Colorado Avalanche swapped minor league defensemen. The Avalanche gave up a 23-year old lefthanded shooting blueliner that they had drafted in the second round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. The Rangers traded a 23-year old lefthanded shooting defenseman they had drafted in the fourth round the same year. Their names? Chris Bigras and Ryan Graves.
