The Edmonton Oilers have dealt forward Ryan Strome to the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Ryan Spooner, the clubs announced Friday.

The Rangers will retain $900,000 of Spooner's $4-million salary to balance out the money, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. Strome's salary is $3 million this season and $3.2 million next season for an annual cap hit of $3.1 million.

Both players are under contract through the 2019-2020 campaign. Spooner is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of his deal, while Strome will be a restricted free agent.

Strome mustered one goal and one assist in 18 games with the Oilers this season, while Spooner managed the same output in 16 contests with the Rangers.

The Rangers acquired Spooner from the Boston Bruins in the Rick Nash trade this past February. The Oilers landed Strome from the New York Islanders in exchange for Jordan Eberle in June 2017.
