**Corey** (0:00)
It's June 9th, New York Rangers News Today starts now. AI-powered and game-ready, I'm Corey with the story. Yo, so the Rangers are looking to shake things up after another season where they missed the playoffs. It's been two years straight, and the brass is definitely considering some big moves this summer.
One name that's been tossed around is Vincent Trocheck, with talks of a potential trade brewing. But while Trocheck's feature is up in the air, the team has made a call on another player. According to reports, Jonny Brodzinski is expected to sign with a different team. He's been with the Rangers for six seasons, mostly serving as a depth forward, bouncing between the taxi squad and the bottom lines. Brodzinski, who's now 32 years old, was originally drafted by the Kings way back in 2013
He's had stints with a few organizations, including the Sharks, before landing with the Rangers in 2020 He's played a decent number of games, over 200, but never really found a consistent spot in the NHL lineup. This past season he played in 55 games, putting up 6 goals and 10 assists. It was actually his career high in games played, but he was still often a healthy scratch.
His best offensive year was last season, when he scored 12 goals. Now he's looking to join his fourth NHL team. So yeah, it's a transitional period for the Rangers. They're clearly trying to find a new direction after falling short of the postseason again. We'll have to see what other moves they make as the offseason progresses.
