"The Rangers are in free fall, having lost 8 of their last 9 and giving up 30 goals in their last 5 games. This is a bad team and the Rangers, without their two best players will likely be sellers as they currently occupy the basement in the Eastern Conference. Pending UFA Artemi Panarin tops the list of Rangers potentially available at the deadline, which has been discussed a lot this season."
"The other player on the list is Vincent Trocheck, who we covered here last week. Trocheck is a 60-70 point 2C with 3 years remaining on his contract at a bargain $5.625 million cap hit. Trocheck was a solid signing for Chris Drury and the Rangers, but it's best to trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late. With Panarin likely bringing back futures, the asking price for Trocheck will probably be a young NHLer or two."
The New York Rangers have lost 8 of their last 9 games and surrendered 30 goals in their last 5, leaving them in the Eastern Conference basement and bottom-five in points percentage. The NHL schedule includes two trade deadlines this season: one before the Olympic roster freeze and the official March 6 deadline. Pending UFA Artemi Panarin is expected to be asked to waive his no-move clause to facilitate a trade, which could return a quality prospect and a first-round pick. Vincent Trocheck is a 60-70 point second-line center with three years left at $5.625 million and could net a young NHL player or two. Other potential movable pieces include Alexis Lafrenière and Braden Schneider.
