The New York Rangers are finalizing a trade to send defenseman Carson Soucy to the New York Islanders, The Athletic reported Monday.
The Islanders will send their New York rivals a third-round pick in the 2026 draft, ESPN reported later in the day.
The Rangers had not confirmed the deal but held Soucy out of Monday night's game against the visiting Boston Bruins for roster management purposes.
Soucy, 31, has three goals, five assists and 18 penalty minutes in 46 games this season, averaging 17:13 of ice time with 66 blocks and 71 hits.
The Rangers acquired Soucy from the Vancouver Canucks at the 2025 trade deadline.
The Alberta native has 95 points (30 goals, 65 assists) in 411 games with the Minnesota Wild, Seattle Kraken, Canucks and Rangers. The Wild drafted him in the fifth round in 2013.
The Rangers are in the Eastern Conference cellar and team president and general manager Chris Drury recently sent a letter to fans about the team's forthcoming plans.
'This will not be a rebuild. This will be a retool built around our core players and prospects,' Drury wrote on Jan. 16. 'We will target players that bring tenacity, skill, speed, and a winning pedigree with a focus on obtaining young players, draft picks, and cap space to allow us flexibility moving forward. That may mean saying goodbye to players that have brought us and our fans great moments over the years.'
