Is this the end of Emerson Etem's "opportunity" on Broadway? Maybe. Per the always fantastic Andrew Gross:
Expect a transaction on Emerson Etem to be announced later today. Not sure what transaction is yet.

I don't think this is Etem being sent down directly -- since those names are announced at Noon. I will reiterate, however, that Etem would most likely be claimed if exposed to waivers and would not give the Rangers any return for him.
As far as I can see this is one of two things:
1) A trade.
