The Kitchener Rangers sent forward Nick McHugh to the Mississauga Steelheads for a trio of draft picks on Tuesday.

In return for the veteran forward, the Rangers received Mississauga’s third-round pick in 2023, their either-round pick in 2020, and Saginaw’s fourth-round pick in 2019.

“We would like to thank Nick for his hard work and dedication over the last four seasons,” Rangers general manager Mike McKenzie said in a statement. “He gave everything he had every shift and will surely be missed here in Kitchener. We wish Nick the best of luck in Mississauga.”
