The New York Rangers are sending their first-round pick in Friday's NHL Draft (No. 12 overall) to the Pittsburgh Penguins to satisfy the conditions of their in-season acquisition of center J.T.

The Canucks then flipped that pick to the Penguins in a trade in which Marcus Pettersson and Drew O'Connor were dealt to Vancouver in exchange for Danton Heinen, Vincent DeSharnais, Melvin Fernstrom and that same conditional first-round pick from the Rangers.

The Rangers had to decide whether to send the Penguins this year's first-rounder or next year's to complete the J.T. Miller trade.
