US EditionReport: Rangers Trading D Carson Soucy to Islanders
The Rangers continue retooling under GM Chris Drury by trading Soucy, a 31-year-old defenseman with 8 points in 46 games, to the Islanders for a 2026 third-round pick.
- On Monday, New York Rangers defenseman Carson Soucy was held out of the lineup at Madison Square Garden for roster-management reasons as multiple outlets reported a trade to the New York Islanders was being finalized.
- On Jan. 16, Chris Drury told fans the club would shift strategy and `This will not be a rebuild`, with the Rangers becoming surprise sellers to gain young players, picks and cap space.
- Carson Soucy, 31, has three goals, five assists and 18 penalty minutes in 46 games, and is a 6-4 lefthanded defenseman in the final year of his contract as a pending unrestricted free agent.
- The Islanders pursued a lefthanded defenseman after Alexander Romanov's November shoulder surgery sidelined him for five to six months, and if completed, the swap would be the fourth trade between the clubs and first since 2010, with return and salary-retention for the Rangers unconfirmed.
- The move suggests many Rangers players could be shopped, though core pieces like Igor Shesterkin, Adam Fox, and Gabe Perreault are expected to stay, with Panarin a potential trade target before March 6.
