Is your head still spinning?The New York Rangers got off to a slower start than many NHL teams when free agency opened at Noon on Wednesday, but they finished with a flurry.Between their first trade of the day for backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo and their final piece of business (at least for now) of flipping defenseman Will Borgen to the Boston Bruins for two draft picks, they completed seven transactions in a span of less than five hours. The biggest ones came in the final hour or so.In total, seven new players were added — forwards Oliver Bjorkstrand, Cole Beaudoin and Joe Veleno, defensemen Sean Durzi, Marcus Pettersson and Marc Del Gaizo, and Korpisalo — plus three draft picks. Out went three players and two picks, most notably veteran center Vincent Trocheck, who landed in Utah following months of trade speculation. This came days after picking nine new prospects in the 2026 NHL Draft, including No. 5 selection Alberts Šmits, and making their splashiest trade of the offseason to date by acquiring Pavel Dorofeyev and locking up the 25-year-old goal-scorer to a seven-year, $77 million extension.Who are the top five NHL players to hit free agency?So, what do we make of it all? We’ll take time in the coming days and weeks to process the most consequential offseason of team president and general manager Chris Drury’s five-year tenure, but there are two ways you could look at it.
