Description
Players ranked by likelihood of it happening
Trades
1.
EDM
    Possible UFA signing who would play well on line 2
    2.
    DAL
      Not very likely but if the stars need to unload cap he is a guy who could mentor the young guys and win faceoffs which is something the Rangers struggle with
      3.
      SJS
        He would cost a lot of assets but is a very good piece on a team that would be willing to trade him
        4.
        BUF
          Obviously the one everyone will think of but I don't think given his cap hit and all of the other teams in on him I don't think he goes to NY
          5.
          MTL
            I doubt he leaves Montreal to UFA but if he does he would be a top asset that any team would love to have
            6.
            FLA
              This one is a LOOONG shot but he is a UFA in 2022 so its possible
              7.
              COL
                He would be providing the Grit the rangers are looking for and would slot in nicely but the only concern would be his age, also a UFA in 2022
                8.
                CAR
                  also a UFA in 2022 and Carolina likely won't have the cap to commit to him long term, definitely a great option.
                  9.
                  PHI
                    The last of the bunch but another great 2-way 2022 UFA who could be available.

                    The Rangers do need help with faceoffs and that's why they should try hard to sign Luke Glendening who is a UFA and costs no assets to get. 55% lifetime in the circle, plus plays a physical game....perfect 4th line center. But he will cost money to get and knowing how cheap the Rangers usually are for 4th line players, they probably wouldn't want to pay him.....hopefully Drury thinks differently than Slats and Gorton.

                    You can definitely cross Lindholm, Barkov, Trocheck, and Couturier off that list. They are aallfor sure not available

                    I suggest adding Krejci to the list though, great mentor

                    Forget Trochek, Barkov, and Kadri (via trade anyway). Don't see them moving as good teams don't trade good players with term. You try to sign them UFA and pay a ton cap-wise.

                    Probably the same for Nugent-Hopkins, Hertl, and Lindholm. Doubt they'd be available (assuming N-H wants to stay in Edmonton and win).

                    A Philly-NYR deal would just be gross. I know it's a business but still...

                    Monahan would cost a good bit in assets but could be a good target. But I'd say Danault is the guy you want. Not a 1C but a nice 2C option behind Zibanejad. Also wouldn't be surprised if he does test UFA so it could br a fix now for nothing but money.

                    You want cheap? I’d love to see Nolan Patrick in a new setting. Obviously not wth Strome and Chytil around, but if one is moved, I’d love to see it.

                    Kuznetsov should be top this list. Vey top.
