Rangers Eye Trocheck as Trade Deadline Pays Off

**Corey** (0:00)
On June 3rd, yo, so the New York Rangers might have a serious gym on their hands this off season with Vincent Trocheck.
This dude is a veteran center, plays both ends of the ice, and word on the street is, there's a whole lot of teams lining up to try and snag him.
It's looking like the Rangers are getting rewarded for holding on to him past the trade deadline. The market for a solid top six center is heating up, especially with the salary cap expected to jump in a couple of years. Plus, Trocheck's no trade list is shrinking, making him even more accessible. He's still got three years left on his deal, and his salary is pretty reasonable for a guy who can consistently put up 20 goals and dominates at the face-off dot. Now, it wasn't like nobody wanted him before the deadline. There was interest, but the Rangers general manager wasn't seeing offers that met his price. So, even though Trocheck wanted out to chase a cup, he ended up finishing the season in New York. The GM figured waiting would bring better options. And those better options are starting to show up. The Toronto Maple Leafs have already made contact, especially with some uncertainty around another player's health. There have been whispers about the Canadians too, but sources are saying that's not actually happening. It's clear Trocheck is a valuable piece and the Rangers are in a good position to make a move that benefits them. We'll have to see where this all shakes out, but it's definitely a situation to keep an eye on as the offseason progresses. That's your update from New York Rangers News Today, powered by AI.
