The New York Rangers traded forward Vincent Trocheck to the Utah Mammoth on July 1, 2026. In exchange the Rangers received defenseman Sean Durzi, prospect Cole Beaudoin and a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL draft. Trocheck, 32, has three seasons remaining on a contract that pays $5.625 million annually.
He recorded 53 points and 193 hits in 67 games last season. Trocheck played a key role on the penalty-killing unit for Team USA that went 17-for-17 during the team's gold-medal run at the 2026 Olympics in Milan. The Rangers had scratched Trocheck at the 2026 trade deadline and worked on a potential deal for more than a year.
Trocheck changed agents to Pat Brisson during the summer of 2026. He held some trade protection and initially preferred to stay on the East Coast, but agreed to the move to Utah. Durzi, 27, is under a four-year, $24 million contract signed in 2024.
The Rangers expect him to play in the top four and on the second power-play unit. Beaudoin, selected by Utah in the first round of the 2024 NHL draft, scored 88 points in 54 regular-season games and 29 points in 15 playoff games for the OHL Barrie Colts in the 2025-26 season. Rangers general manager Chris Drury announced a retool in January 2026.
The team later traded Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings. Trocheck and Panarin had been part of the core that reached the Eastern Conference finals in 2022 and 2024.
