Tonight the Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers have completed a trade involving a defenseman heading from Vancouver to New York. With the trade deadline just one day away teams are incredibly active on the trade market and tonight we have yet another trade. This time, a long-rumored move will be made: defenseman Carson Soucy will be heading to the New York Rangers. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/puckreportnhl/status/1897789026129571892'> </a></blockquote></div> Further reports have confirmed that Soucy will be dealt to the New York Rangers in exchange for a third-round pick according to insider Elliotte Friedman. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1897789858401104374'> </a></blockquote></div> Earlier today the Winnipeg Jets had been mentioned as a potential team that was in on Soucy but ultimately the New York Rangers swoop in and steal him away bringing him to the Big Apple for the rest of the season. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jlstoller/status/1897745435944796352'> </a></blockquote></div> The Canucks seemed to not have a spot for Soucy after trading for Marcus Pettersson and now he gets a new opportunity in a new home for the rest of the season. According to a Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal Soucy was asked to waive his no trade clause several hours ago as this deal became a reality. He decided to take some time to reflect and one of the major reasons Soucy decided to accept the trade was the involvement of former Canucks J.T. Miller convincing Soucy it was a good opportunity. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dhaliwalsports/status/1897792519523459404'> </a></blockquote></div> The trade now clears up a bit of a logjam for the Canucks and allows them to use the third-round pick they acquired to go get help in other areas before tomorrow's deadline. As for Soucy, he will now head to the Rangers where he will look to carve out an NHL role and help the team get back into a Stanley Cup Playoff spot. This situation is still developing and as more details are made known we will continue to update the story.
