This, of course, has led to widespread speculation that McQuaid, a pending free agent, has been traded. Nothing official on that just yet, though. Stay tuned.

NHL insider Bob McKenzie reported earlier this week that the asking price for McQuaid via trade was/is a 3rd round pick.

Bob McKenzie says that the Rangers "expect and think they're going to get a 3rd-round pick for Adam McQuaid" in a discussion about hypothetical depth additions for Toronto on defense.
