Marcus Pettersson traded to Rangers by Canucks | NHL.com New York receives defenseman for conditional 1st-round pick in 2030 draft

JULY 1 • NHL.COM

Heading to Broadway Pettersson was traded to the Rangers from the Canucks on Wednesday in exchange for a conditional 2030 first-round pick, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact The pick is a top-10 protected selection. Pettersson should occupy a similar role with the Rangers as he saw with the Canucks, likely playing second-pairing minutes and some time on the penalty kill. He had 18 points, 66 shots on net, 79 hits, 136 blocked shots, 60 PIM and a minus-19 rating over 82 contests on the bottom-dwelling Canucks last year.

Scores in 600th career game Pettersson scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Pettersson suited up for his 600th NHL contest, and he marked the occasion with the Canucks' lone goal. The defenseman is up to four points over five games in April. He's at three goals, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 77 hits, 60 PIM, 133 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 78 appearances. Pettersson remains a defensive stalwart in a top-four role, but he'd need to sustain his recent success to get to the 20-point mark this year with four games left on the schedule.

Rattles off three points in win Pettersson scored a goal, dished two assists, went plus-4, doled out three hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Pettersson ended his 11-game point drought in a big way. The defenseman helped out on a Teddy Blueger tally in the second period, then scored the game-winner at 14:21 of the third before setting up Brock Boeser's empty-netter. Pettersson has provided limited upside on offense with 17 points over 74 appearances this season. He's added 61 shots on net, 60 PIM, 71 hits, 124 blocks and a minus-9 rating in a top-four role on a bad team.

Picks up pair of helpers Pettersson notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Pettersson has three helpers over three games in March. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to see plenty of playing time in a top-four role for the Canucks. He's at 14 points, 56 shots on net, 56 hits, 56 PIM and 104 blocked shots over 62 appearances. Pettersson can help in deeper fantasy formats that count blocks, but his overall profile isn't enticing on a bad team.

Slides assist in loss Pettersson recorded an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.

Impact The helper ended an eight-game slump for Pettersson. He was limited to 17:34 of ice time Friday, his lowest mark since Dec. 11 versus the Sabres, which was the last game before the Quinn Hughes trade. Pettersson has 10 points, 44 shots on net, 54 PIM, 43 hits, 83 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 51 appearances. He's in the first year of a six-year contract with a $5.5 million cap hit, but the 29-year-old probably won't fit the Canucks' competitive timeline since the team looks to be entering a full rebuild. He could be attractive to contending teams looking for a top-four blueliner with term, and just about any move would improve his fantasy outlook.

Manages helper in win Pettersson logged an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Pettersson has averaged 23:54 of ice time since the Quinn Hughes trade, compared to 20:28 per game before the deal went down. Pettersson has taken over the vacancy on the top pairing at even strength, though he's not in the mix for power-play usage. He has just six points, 25 shots on net, 20 hits, 56 blocked shots, 33 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 34 appearances, so it's unlikely the 29-year-old blueliner will be a strong option in most fantasy formats.

Fills empty cage Pettersson scored an empty-net goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Pettersson ended a five-game point drought with the tally. He skated 30:23 on Friday versus the Hurricanes when Quinn Hughes was out of action due to an upper-body injury, but Pettersson was back to a more reasonable 21:16 of ice time Sunday. The 29-year-old Pettersson has four points, 14 shots on net, 12 hits, 37 blocks, 21 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 20 appearances this season as one of the few Canucks to avoid the injury bug so far.
