The New York Rangers have traded defenseman Daniel Walcott, a 2014 5th round pick, to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for ta 2015 7th round pick. The 7th rounder is originally the Rangers pick, which was sent to Tampa Bay as a part of the Martin St. Louis trade.

This trade is a bit baffling, but Adam Herman logically speculates that this could be because Walcott didn’t want to sign with the Rangers. It certainly makes sense, and if that’s the case, at least the Rangers got something back for him.
