Ok Rangers fans now that dust has settled how do we feel about the moves Chris Drury made today? #NYR pic.twitter.com/TiH2JafhKI

Also quick thing on Braun: the Flyers are a bottom five team in terms of Expected Goals Against/60 at 5v5, so the fact he has done well this season despite that is a real good sign.

He won't bring any offense, but so be it.https://t.co/9TzBqdcKL5 pic.twitter.com/lazvcuVEmz
The #NYR found the defensive depth they were looking for in Justin Braun. The righty won't bring much offensively, but steady enough in his own zone. Given their cap situation, a rental was the way to go here. pic.twitter.com/yYZjlkkNAV

Traded frin #BringItToBroad to the #NYR, has been a good defensive defenseman but brings little in terms of offensive playdriving. pic.twitter.com/RmT98lrNSs

Solid pickup by Rangers. Perenially underrated. Someone told me yesterday they think he has one of the best sticks in the D zone in the league.

Also Vlasic’s steep decline partly coincided when Braun was traded from San Jose https://t.co/EsarFEZUGB
Traded by the #Canucks to #NYR, Tyler Motte has been a great defensive presence this season, in fairly sheltered minutes. pic.twitter.com/cGxS4jJWm2

Tyler Motte is a speedy, disruptive winger. He's positive influence on his zone, can push play back up the ice, contribute some offense, and kill penalties. A fourth-rounder is a very low-risk, high reward return #NYR

Tyler Motte has been traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the New York Rangers in exchange for 4th round draft pick 2023. Yeah, that's pretty fair deal. pic.twitter.com/uetaZ12Yzv

To clean things up: To Wpg… a 2nd that can become a 1sr if NYR wins two rounds and Copp plays 50% of the games. Another 2nd, WPG’s option in 22 or 23. A final 5th round pick in 2023. Plus, prospect Morgan Barron. To NYR: Andrew Copp and a 6th in 2023.

Andrew Copp, traded to NYR, is a versatile forward who can play in all situations and thrives on special teams. Used to be a high-end defensive player but has focused on offence more in the past two seasons. Struggles to finish. #NYR pic.twitter.com/MNmqqYr6RN

Andrew Copp is a legitimately good player.
— Sam Stern (@SammmyStern) March 21, 2022
Note that as much as metrics try to separate player’s from teammate impact it’s very tough to do… WPG has been super weird the last few years.
I think he’s even better than this?
He’s a pending UFA, so I wonder what the return is. pic.twitter.com/WCG0zMtKWU
Traded from the #GoJetsGo to #NYR, Andrew Copp has been great at puck possession and offensive playdriving against other team's top lines. He also happens to be really good at killing penalties- this is a great add by the Rangers. pic.twitter.com/aKDz1xC6Gy

Andrew Copp's had one of the biggest improvements across the board in my tracking. Always showed some skill in transition but never resulted in much offense until this season. Him & Adam Lowry were one of the most aggressive penalty killing units in the league. pic.twitter.com/lycrhowyK0

The Rangers come out with a slight edge value added in the Andrew Copp trade (when factoring in the probability of the Rangers making the ECF) compared to the Jets, via @iyer_prashanth's trade machine #NYR pic.twitter.com/XzHEnJKmhT
