"Trading Vincent Trocheck will sting because it makes the whole retool feel a lot more like a rebuild. Don't worry though, it's going to get worse. Trocheck is a solid player on a very reasonable contract. That makes him super valuable to a team with plans to contend for the Stanley Cup during that contract. Unfortunately, the Rangers can't depend on themselves to be that team, so moving him is one of several moves the Rangers need to make."
"It's nice to think about the Rangers getting back soon with Trocheck, but the best way for the Rangers to get back would be to get the assets they could fetch in trading Trocheck. If Brock Nelson's trade to the Colorado Avalanche is any comparison, the Rangers should bring back a legitimate prospect and a first round pick. Given Trocheck is signed for two more years, the package should be more"
An Olympic break provides a reset for the New York Rangers as they attempt to salvage the season. Significant on-ice improvements and off-ice roster moves are required to execute a retool under general manager Chris Drury. Trading Vincent Trocheck would yield high-value assets because of his play and affordable contract, potentially fetching a top prospect and a first-round pick. Braden Schneider, despite being a serviceable defenseman, is due for a sizable raise and should not receive a costly extension; moving him could prevent overpaying and accelerate asset accumulation for a competitive rebuild.
