NJ traded a 2nd rounder and defenseman Yegor Rykov for NYR winger Michael Grabner.

Devils and Rangers make a trade for the first time ever. I'm actually surprised this is the trade they made. On the surface, I don't love it as a Devils fan. I'm not thrilled to give up a 2nd rounder. I don't know what Rykov is really going to be so I can't worry too much about that. I do think a potential line of Bratt, Zacha, and Grabner could be pretty lethal.

In the end, it's just a rental though, which makes the 2nd round pick tough to swallow. They did get better though and it's nice to see them actually in the hunt for a change.
