Anders Eriksson Acquired by New York Rangers

“New York Rangers have acquired defenseman Anders Eriksson from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for goaltender Miika Wiikman and a seventh round selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

The 35-year old Eriksson will report to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League. He has three assists in 12 games with the Coyotes this season.” (Source:TSN)

This is a move that should push the Rangers deep into the playoffs…? In my opinion, they’d be better off with the 7th round pick.
