The Rangers have acquired their second 7th round pick of the trade deadline, sending goalie Marek Mazanec to Vancouver for a 2019 7th rounder. The Rangers had previously acquired a 2020 7th rounder from Nashville for Cody McLeod.
Mazanec played two seasons with a dreadful Hartford team, making 20 starts in each of those seasons. He went from backup to starter this season, though. He was called up a few times to the Rangers, but mostly as a warm body on the bench to backup Henrik Lundqvist while Alex Georgiev was getting minutes in Hartford.
