The New York Rangers have strengthened their defense by acquiring Carson Soucy from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick. Standing at 6-foot-5, Soucy is a versatile player capable of fitting into various defensive pairings. Soucy waived his no-trade clause to join the Rangers, who were looking for a player of his caliber to enhance their playoff aspirations.

Despite being in a transition phase, Vancouver's GM praised Soucy's contributions last season, underscoring his professionalism. The Rangers hope that Soucy's experience and physical presence will bolster their blue line, especially during crucial game situations.
