Rangers Trade for Top Prospect Liam Greentree

0:00It's April 5th. Welcome in. This is NHL News Today, where your team meets AI. I'm Cori with the story. Rangers fans took a hit when they traded star-winger, Artimi Panarine, to the Los Angeles Kings before the deadline. In return, New York grabbed forward Liam Greentree, a first-round pick from 2024, plus a third-rounder in 2026 and a fourth-rounder in 2028. Greentree stands six foot three and weighs 215 pounds with a frame ready for the NHL. He's dominating with the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL, using his size to shield pucks, drive the net, and fire a wicked shot that keeps defenders. Honest, fans were gutted losing Panarine after his solid run since signing in 2019, especially with the Rangers already out of the Eastern conference playoffs. But this move injects youth into a squad needing fresh legs for the long haul. Since joining the Rangers system, Greentree's lidded up even more, ripping 14 goals and 25 points lately. This season alone, in 52 games, he's got 38 goals,

1:0536 assists, and a plus 19 rating. Last year, 49 goals, 70 assists, plus 55. That potential screams top 6 forward down the line, and ESPN already calls him New York's top prospect. The blue shirt's future just got a whole lot brighter with this kid leading the charge.
