Rangers trade Carson Soucy to Islanders as sell-off begins
NY Post
The Islanders have gone to an unlikely source to fill the need on their blue line.
In what is trade between the Battle of New York rivals, the Blueshirts and Islanders agreed to a deal to send defenseman Carson Soucy to Long Island, the teams announced Monday night.
A third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft is heading back to the Blueshirty for Soucy, who sat out the Rangers’ 4-3 overtime win Monday night over the Bruins for trade-related reasons.
Soucy, acquired from the Canucks last season in exchange for a third-round pick, has collected eight points in 46 games this season while averaging 17:13 of ice time. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency after the season.
The Islanders have plenty of long-term injured reserve space with Kyle Palmieri, Pierre Engvall, Alexander Romanov and, likely, Semyon Varlamov out for the season, so Soucy’s $3.25 million cap hit is of little consequence.
With the Islanders carrying 23 men on their roster, they will need to move a player in order to fit Soucy. That could either mean adding Ryan Pulock to injured reserve or sending someone to AHL Bridgeport.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
