Does this mean either Hunt of Mckegg can now ride the bench?

I guess Florida did this to clear cap space? Feels like the small level of sacrifice was worth it as a show of good faith from Drury to the NYR players for the wins we've been getting.
I have no idea how Valtrano plays though. Anyone want to give a rundown on the type of player he is? Does he hit?

That's great. Maybe we can win a Stanley Cup if we stockpile enough UFA's this season by giving up late round picks lol.
He should take that 2RW spot from Hunt for the time being but Gallant will probably just bench Gauthier instead.
Volume shooter with a motor and some defensive awareness. He's a clear upgrade on Hunt in that spot if Gallant can stop forcing it.

It's all so tiresome
Fair deal, and a fine pickup, he adds a couple of elements that the Rangers sorely lacked, speed and volume shooting.

Fine move. Fills the roster with an NHL caliber player so you can pitch to the owner/locker room/fan base that you are committed to giving Panarin/Zibanejad/Kreider a "real shot," without spending anything of substance.
What's not to like?

I don't think he moves the needle significantly, but he's had trouble cementing himself amid a deep Florida roster. His skillset fits really well with our particular needs, so I could see him helping this team out significantly more.

He's not a needle mover, but perhaps he's a black hole eliminator. Which gives you more of a fighter's chance in the playoffs at least.

Very solid deal for a guy who is an upgrade on 2/3 of our bottom 6 players.
Goodrow-Chytil-Vatrano should be a very solid 3rd line.

Good trade. Has a very fitting New Yorker name. lol.
