"As the season carries on, the Rangers trade deadline plans gradually come to the forefront of people's minds. The New York Rangers face a very uncertain trade deadline, as their best forward, Artemi Panarin, sees the end of his long-term contract with the Rangers. Many believe the Rangers should trade Panarin, while others are not as sure. With all of the talk around Panarin, there hasn't been much talk about the rest of the team."
"The Rangers trade deadline plans should not have set expectations, but rather leave all but two players available and see what offers arrive and be open to what falls in their laps. The only two players in question are Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin. There should be no world in which either is traded, as they are elite players under long-term, affordable deals."
Artemi Panarin approaches the end of a long-term contract, creating substantial uncertainty for trade-deadline planning. The suggested strategy is to leave all players available except Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin and evaluate offers as they arrive. Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin are viewed as untouchable elite players on long-term, affordable contracts. Prospects including Gabe Perreault are not considered must-keeps, with Perreault being the closest to that status but not projected as an elite first-line forward. Available does not equal actively trying to trade; the team should remain open to optimal deals. Vincent Trocheck and J.T. Miller are replaceable, and Trocheck could attract significant packages.
