The New York Rangers had a rough season, finishing dead last in the league. After high expectations with a new coach, they ended up 30th overall.
This led to them trading away better in players like Artemiy Panarin, following Chris Kreider and Jacob Truba, who were already gone. With some young talent on the roster, the Rangers might bounce back in the next season. However, without their big stars, it looks like they could be heading for a multi-year rebuild. If that's the plan, they should consider trading other veterans, like Vincent Trocheck, who has been getting a lot of attention on the trade market for the past six months. There's a lot of talk about Vincent Trocheck being moved this summer. Reports suggest the Rangers might have asked for too much at the trade deadline, which is why no deal happened. Now, speculation is that their asking price for the 32-year-old center might have actually gone up. This makes sense, because there aren't many star centers available right now, either through trades or free agency. With other teams making moves, the Rangers are in a strong position to hold out for a good offer for Trocheck, especially considering his value as a two-way center who can contribute immediately. Even though Trocheck is 32, he's still a valuable player for a team looking to win now, and his contract is pretty reasonable.
If the Rangers' asking price remains too high, he might end up starting the season with them and get traded later in the season when teens are more desperate.
