Los Angeles (AFP) - The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh in a muti-player deal as the NHL trading deadline passed on Monday with plenty of activity but not many star players changing uniforms.

Now this is truly the end of an era.

Just a few weeks after deciding to enter the trade market as sellers, the New York Rangers made the boldest move of the 2018 NHL trade deadline when they dealt their captain Ryan McDonagh to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
