New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the team has acquired a conditional first round selection in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and a conditional fourth round selection in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft from the Dallas Stars in exchange for defenseman Nils Lundkvist.

The conditions on both picks are below:

  • If the Stars pick in the 2023 draft is in the top 10, the Rangers will get Dallas’ own first round pick in the 2024 draft instead and the pick will be unprotected.
  • If Lundkvist produces 55 points cumulative over the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, Dallas will transfer its own third-round pick in 2025 instead of the fourth-round pick in 2025.
  • New York is now slated to have seven picks in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft in Nashville, including two first round picks, one in the second (from Winnipeg) and third round (from Colorado) as well as two six round picks (one from Winnipeg) and a seventh-round selection.

    Lundkvist skated in 25 games for the Rangers last season, collecting one goal and three assists for four points. With the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack in 2021-22, he tallied 15 points (3G-12A) in 34 games.
