Rangers Trade Rumors Heating Up

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On June 27th, the New York Rangers made a move this past Saturday, sending forward Adam Edstrom to the Nashville Predators. In return, they picked up forward Massimo Rizzo and a fifth round pick in the 2026 draft. It's not a blockbuster, but it shows the Rangers are still shuffling the deck as they retool their roster. This trade signals that the team is open to making more changes. There are a few other players on their roster who could be on the move this off season. We're talking about guys who could generate some significant interest from other clubs looking to bolster their lineups.
One name that keeps popping up is Vincent Trocheck. He's been a hot topic since before the trade deadline, and those rumors haven't cooled down.
As a proven center who can play in the top six, has a good contract and just had a solid season with 16 goals and 53 points in, 67 games. He's definitely a valuable asset.
Then there's defenseman Braden Schneider. He's a young, physical defenseman, a former first round pick, and he's a restricted free agent. If the Rangers don't see him as a long term piece, they could definitely flip him for a good return. He put up two goals, 18 points, and a lot of hits last season. Finally, Alexis Lafreniere's strong finish to the season has definitely boosted his trade value. With the Rangers bringing in new talent and Lafreniere still having a lot of potential at 24 years old, it's worth watching to see if they decide to move him for a fresh start elsewhere. He had 24 goals and 57 points last year. This has been New York Rangers News Today, powered by AI.
