Trade: We have another deal in the National Hockey League.

We have a trade in the National Hockey League.

The Vancouver Canucks have announced the acquisition of forward Emerson Etem in a trade with the New York Rangers, in exchange the Rangers will receive forward Nicklas Jensen as well as a sixth round draft choice from the Canucks.

This trade is interesting for a few reasons, first of all it will give Jensen a fresh start after he failed to live up to expectations in Vancouver, and it will be interesting to see him develop with the Rangers, and perhaps finally prove himself or potentially fizzle out.

Secondly it adds offensive depth for Vancouver, Etem is the better and more NHL ready player right now, and he has some familiarity with head coach Willie Desjardins who previously coached Etem during his time with the Medicine Hat Tigers.
