The Rangers traded forward Vladislav Namestnikov to the Ottawa Senators Monday night, dealing him for a fourth-round pick in 2021 and defenseman Nick Ebert, who had been playing for Ottawa’s Belleville, Ontario, farm team.
Namestnikov was part of the return the Rangers got from the Tampa Bay Lightning in the deadline-day deal in February 2018, when they sent captain Ryan McDonagh and forward J.T. Miller to the Lightning, along with prospects Brett Howden and Libor Hajek, and a 2018 first-round pick, which the Rangers used to take Swedish defenseman Nils Lundkvist.
