The Rangers also  traded their seventh-round pick (No. 201 overall) to Nashville as part of a deal that enabled them to reclaim their own fourth-round pick at No. 111 overall. That pick had been previously relinquished in the Feb. 26 trade for Christian Backman. In exchange for the No. 111 pick, the Rangers also dealt Nashville next year's fourth-round selection.
