The New York Rangers have assigned Emerson Etem to the American Hockey League on a temporary conditioning stint. He may also be traded.
Shortly after news broke that the New York Rangers would be announcing a move with Emerson Etem, Alain Vigneault confirmed that the 23-year-old would be on his way to Hartford. The Rangers made the move official by assigning Etem to the AHL on a temporary conditioning stint, which can last up to a maximum of 14 days. With the recent play of Jayson Megna in his Rangers' debut, and Chris Kreider returning from injury shortly, Etem probably wasn't going to get an opportunity to play in the near future.
