Overview

• The Vancouver Canucks traded defenseman Carson Soucy to the New York Rangers in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick originally from the San Jose Sharks.
• Soucy, 30, is in the second year of a three-year, $9.75 million contract with a $3.25 million annual cap hit, which the Canucks did not retain.
• The 6-foot-5 defenseman brings physicality and versatility to the Rangers' blue line, reuniting with former Seattle Kraken teammate Will Borgen.
• Soucy struggled in Vancouver this season, registering three goals, seven assists, and a minus-13 rating in 59 games, but adds experience with 38 career playoff appearances.
• The Canucks' decision to move Soucy reflects their efforts to reshape their defense and long-term roster strategy.
