ELSON FOR PETAN

The New York Rangers acquired forward Nic Petan from the Minnesota Wild for forward Turner Elson.

What does it give the New York Rangers
This is an AHL deal, but Petan could be used as an injury replacement by the Rangers down the stretch.

What does it give the Minnesota Wild
Elson has not played as much at the NHL level as Petan, but he is a solid AHL forward. Nothing else to see here.
