For the second time in the last five NHL trade deadlines, the New York Rangers reportedly traded their captain to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Though neither team has made an official announcement, multiple outlets are reporting that the Rangers traded defenseman Ryan McDonagh to the Lightning right before Monday's deadline. In 2014, the Blueshirts sent then-captain Ryan Callahan to Tampa Bay as part of a package for Martin St. Louis.

The Rangers are in the midst of a major roster overhaul -- already moving Rick Nash, Michael Grabner and Nick Holden in separate deals in the past week -- while the Lightning are one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup this spring, prompting this blockbuster trade.
The 28-year-old McDonagh, the Rangers captain since the fall of 2014, did not play since Feb.7 because of an upper body injury. In tampa he would join a defense corps which includes Norris Trophy candidate Victor Hedman, talented rookie Mikhail Sergachev and two of McDonagh's former Blueshirt teammates Dan Girardi and Anton Stralman.
