The New York Rangers traded forward Lias Andersson to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for the No. 60 selection in the 2020 NHL Draft, the team announced.
The Rangers chose forward William Cuylle with the pick. Cuylle scored 22 goals and added 20 assists in 62 games for the OHL's Windsor Spitfires last season.
New York selected Andersson with the seventh overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. He's totaled three goals and six assists over 66 games for the Rangers.
The 21-year-old spent the majority of last season playing in Sweden after reportedly requesting a trade from the Rangers in December. Andersson apparently planned to remain in Sweden for 2020-21 if New York didn't trade him.
