According to Elliotte Friedman on SN590, the New York Rangers are contemplating an offer sheet for restricted free agent JJ Peterka. GM Chris Drury has shown keen interest in Peterka for months, although recent discussions have focused more on other players like K'Andre Miller and Bowen Byram. The Rangers face complications due to their lack of 2026 draft picks, which are necessary for submitting an offer sheet, particularly after the loss of their 2nd round pick in a previous trade. This raises questions on their approach as they may need to reacquire draft picks to make a competitive offer.
The Rangers appear to be considering a JJ Peterka offer sheet, aiming to draw Buffalo to the negotiating table for a possible trade.
Despite speculation about Peterka, discussions between the Rangers and Sabres have centered around players like K'Andre Miller and Bowen Byram.
The lack of available draft picks may hinder the Rangers' ability to make a competitive offer sheet for Peterka, adding complexity to the situation.
If the Rangers intend to submit an offer sheet, they may need to reacquire their 2nd round pick next season from Utah first.
