The Rangers made some needed upgrades ahead of yesterday’s close — but so did many other playoff-level teams in the Eastern Conference.
President and general manager Chris Drury not only strengthened the team on both sides of the puck — he acquired forwards Andrew Copp and Tyler Motte and defenseman Justin Braun in three separate trades — he also brought in players who already know themselves and their new teammates New York.
There’s no way to really tell which clubs have significantly improved until each team’s new product unfolds on the ice. The true “winners” and “losers” of the 2022 trade deadline have yet to be announced. But we can evaluate the steps that were taken on paper and how each team approached what had been a very busy day for the NHL – just ask the league’s central registry.
