Two former first round picks are getting fresh starts after a recent trade...well, besides Ryan Johansen and Seth Jones. The Vancouver Canucks sent Nicklas Jensen and a 2017 6th round pick to the New York Rangers and get Emerson Etem in return. Essentially, this means two first round picks that haven't been able to establish themselves on the NHL level (as Johansen had two great years prior to this season while Jones did well despite playing behind Shea Weber and Roman Josi), as Etem is now on his third team since last June, as he had been traded to the Rangers for Carl Hagelin, and Jensen was unable to get out of Utica of the AHL. Jensen will be heading to Hartford while Etem will try to put his speed and size to good use in Vancouver all while trying to rediscover his scoring touch from his Medicine Hat days.
