The Rangers will receive a second-round pick and defenseman prospect Yegor Rykov in return. Rykov was a fifth-round pick of the Devils in 2016.
New York held Grabner out of Thursday's game in anticipation of a trade, and they also held Rick Nash who has not been traded as of yet.
Grabner is tied for 17th in the NHL this season with 25 goals.
