Rangers Star Heads the NHL Offseason Trade Board

The trade chatter around this Rangers star is exactly where you’d expect it to be by now - loud, messy, and impossible to ignore. The league knows the name, the cap math knows the name, and so do the front offices that have been waiting for this moment. For a player who lives at the center of every rumor season, the real question is not whether he is available, but what kind of haul New York would even consider. That is the game being played now, and everybody in the building knows it.
