The Rangers and Flyers appear to have completed the trade made yesterday, which sent goalie J.F. Berube to the Rangers for future considerations. The Rangers (via the Hartford Wolf Pack) have sent goalie Tom McCollum and forward Lewis Zerter-Gossage to the Flyers for future considerations. The trade now reads Berube to the Rangers for McCollum and Zerter-Gossage.
Why two trades to make one trade?
Simple – Berube is on an NHL contract, just is in the AHL. Both McCollum and Zerter-Gossage are on AHL deals. This is strictly an AHL trade, but because of the contract types, the trade couldn’t be straight up.
