The New York Rangers have completed a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning, sending forward Ryder Korczak in exchange for Lucas Edmonds. The 23-year-old Edmonds, selected in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft, has primarily played for the AHL's Syracuse Crunch, where he notched 16 points in 45 games last season.

This trade follows a significant multi-team trade that involved the Colorado Avalanche, Carolina Hurricanes, and Chicago Blackhawks, which saw Mikko Rantanen move to the Hurricanes. The implications of this recent trade for both teams are yet to be fully realized, and speculation surrounds whether Rangers GM Chris Drury has additional moves planned.
