The Minnesota Wild will have a veteran presence at center, and the New York Rangers have made their roster a little bit younger. This, thanks to a trade announced by the Wild Monday, in which Rangers center Michael Rupp will head to Minneapolis in exchange for center Darroll Powe and right winger Nick Palmieri.

Rupp, 33, played 60 games for the Rangers last season, scoring four goals with one assist. He has zero goals and zero assists in eight games so far this season.

Powe, 27, leaves the Wild after just one season with the team in which he scored six goals and seven assists in 82 games.
