NY Rangers Acquire Thuresson from Predators for Dupont

The New York Rangers have announced that they have acquired right wing Andreas Thuresson from the Nashville Predators in exchange for center Brodie Dupont. In three games last season with the Predators, Thuresson had no points. He also appeared in 76 games with Milwaukee of the AHL, scoring 14 goals and 24 assists for 38 points. Dupont appeared in one game last season with the Rangers, going pointless, and also played in 72 games with Connecticut of the AHL, scoring 14 goals and 31 assists for 45 points. This is really just a depth move for both teams, as both players will likely see quite a bit of time in the minors next season. Although, Thuresson and Dupont could secure fourth line roles if they're impressive enough at training camp in September.
