In 2025-26, he recorded 16 goals and 37 assists for 53 points in 67 games. Trocheck has been in trade rumours for quite some time, as he sat out a game before the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline.<\/p>\n<p>For the Mammoth, they have gotten a solid top-six centre to help out the likes of <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/coolelo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-07-01_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Logan Cooley<\/a> and <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/schmani01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-07-01_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Schmaltz<\/a>. It will help their centre depth in a big way.<\/p>\n<h3>Durzi, Beaudoin, Third-Round Pick Headed the Rangers&#8217; Way<\/h3>\n<p>Sean Durzi is a decent pickup for the Rangers as he scored five goals and 22 assists for 27 points in 60 games last season for the Mammoth. The 27-year-old defenceman is a solid puck-mover and can be effective on the power play. Alongside the acquisition of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2026\/07\/01\/marcus-pettersson-trade\/\" target=\"_self\">Marcus Pettersson from the Vancouver Canucks<\/a>, this is a solid improvement to a defence core that was in desperate need of improvement.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteprospects.com\/player\/677590\/cole-beaudoin\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cole Beaudoin was drafted 24th overall<\/a> in 2024 by Utah. According to the 2024 Elite Prospects Draft Guide, <em>&#8220;Beaudoin eats up the boards, grinds them, spins off opponents, drags the puck out of traffic, and gets it to the middle of the ice. There\u2019s not a battle that he can\u2019t win, even when at a numbers disadvantage.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>He scored 33 goals and 55 assists for 88 points with the OHL&#8217;s Barrie Colts this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers also acquired a 2027 third-round draft pick, which is a nice sweetener. Overall, this could be a solid trade for both teams.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Rangers are making yet another move on this 2026 NHL Free Agency Wednesday as Vincent Trocheck is heading to the Utah Mammoth.
