**Corey** (0:00)
It's June 26th. I'm Corey with the story, and this is New York Rangers News Today, AI-powered updates on your squad. Yo, so, the Rangers are still sniffing around Anaheim's Mason McTavish.
Word is, they've got an offer on the table, and St. Louis is right there too, also making moves. But here's the kicker, with the NHL draft kicking off tonight, it's looking less and less likely that any deal involving McTavish gets done before. Then, time-sticking, you know? The Rangers package reportedly includes a player already on their roster. Meanwhile, the Blues are putting their 11th overall pick on the table, which is a pretty big deal.
McTavish, who's only 23, could be a real game changer. He had a solid season the year before, with 22 goals and 52 points, showing he's got serious talent. He's still under contract for five years with a 7-M cap hit. It's a hefty commitment, but he's a player who could turn the tie for any contender. Fans are buzzing to see if tonight's draft drama shakes up the trade landscape.
