Rangers ship Brendan Lemieux to Kings for fourth-round pick
NY Post
The Rangers traded forward Brendan Lemieux to the Kings in exchange for a 2021 fourth-round draft pick, the team announced Saturday night.
Lemieux, who has one year remaining after this season on the two-year, $3.1 million contract he signed with the Rangers last November, finishes his Blueshirts career with 11 goals, 20 assists and 214 penalty minutes. With the addition of the Kings’ pick, the Rangers now have nine selections in the 2021 NHL Draft, including six in the first four rounds. The 25-year-old Lemieux primarily played the role of a fourth-line agitator during his tenure with the Rangers. He was one of the few players on the roster who brought an element of physicality.
Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
