Canucks acquire Emerson Etem from Rangers for Nicklas Jensen, sixth-round pick

"The Neutral Zone" Roster Report

The Vancouver Canucks acquired Emerson Etem from the New York Rangers on Friday for fellow winger Nicklas Jensen and a 2017 sixth-round pick.

Etem, 23, played in 19 games with the Rangers this season, registering three assists. New York had assigned him to the AHL on a conditioning stint earlier Friday before the trade was announced.

The native of Long Beach, Calif., has 15 goals and 19 assists in 131 career games with the Rangers and Anaheim Ducks.

The 22-year-old Jensen, meanwhile, never lived up to expectations in Vancouver. The 29th overall pick in 2011 has been playing in the AHL this season and has three goals and three assists in 24 career NHL games.
