Just ahead of the trade deadline, the Kitchener Rangers acquired right winger Serron Noel from the Oshawa Generals.
In exchange, the Rangers have sent Ryan Stepien, two second-round picks in 2021 and 2022 and two third-round picks in 2022 and 2024 to Oshawa.
Noel was selected in the second round of the 2018 draft by the Florida Panthers.

Stepien joined the Rangers in 2018 from the Saginaw Spirit.
