The New York Rangers<\/a> have agreed to trade defenseman Carson Soucy<\/a> to the New York Islanders<\/a> for a 2026 third-round pick, sources told ESPN on Monday.<\/p>\n

Once completed, it will mark just the fourth time the two in-state rivals have completed a trade, and the second time in the past 50 years.<\/p>\n

Soucy was scratched from Monday’s game<\/a> against the Boston Bruins<\/a> at Madison Square Garden for roster management reasons. The Athletic was first to report that a trade between the Rangers and Islanders was in the works.<\/p>\n

Rangers general manager Chris Drury spent a third-round pick when he acquired Soucy from the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

Soucy, a 6-foot-4 left shot, is in the final year of a contract paying him $3.25 million annually.<\/p>\n

The Islanders, who have been without Alexander Romanov<\/a> on the left side since he had shoulder surgery in November, have performed well under first-year GM Mathieu Darche and entered Monday in third place in the Metro Division.<\/p>\n

The Rangers, meanwhile, announced earlier this month that they plan to enter a “retool” phase<\/a> after an injury-riddled first half that has New York in last place in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

Soucy is the first domino to fall, with trades for star winger Artemi Panarin<\/a> and potentially others expected over the next several weeks.<\/p>\n
