What happened: Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, Sam Carrick, Brennan Othmann, Carson Soucy, Brett Berard, Adam Edstrom and Will Borgen departed between Jan. 26 and July 1. Pavel Dorofeyev, Sean Durzi, Marcus Pettersson and Joonas Korpisalo arrived in trades, while Oliver Bjorkstrand and Joe Veleno signed one-year contracts. Vincent Iorio and Tye Kartye joined through waivers.
Why it matters: The changes steer New York's offseason overhaul toward a younger, faster roster for 2026-27 while converting veteran departures into prospects and draft capital. Dorofeyev became a long-term piece after New York paid two 2026 picks and a conditional 2028 first to acquire him.
By the numbers: The transaction log Eight trades sent a Rangers player out, while three were structured as direct acquisitions by New York.
What to watch: Training camp will begin defining roles for Dorofeyev, Durzi, Pettersson and Korpisalo within the rebuilt group.
