Sylvanie-Imagn Images The Rangers have acquired Nicolas Aube-Kubel from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Erik Brännström. This was the only trade the Rangers made on the day of the NHL Trade Deadline. Aube-Kubel has split his time this season with the Sabres and Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. According to Vince Z. Mercogliano Aube-Kubel is expected to report to the Hartford Wolf Pack, but he could factor in as a depth piece down the stretch. Through his seven-year NHL career, Aube-Kubel has played for the Philadelphia Flyers, Colorado Avalanche, Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals and Sabres. The 28-year-old has recorded one goal, one assist and two points in 19 games for the Sabres this year while averaging 9:32 minutes.
