Trocheck Trade Hot Again This Offseason

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On June 8th, the New York Rangers are gearing up for a busy off season after a rough season that saw them finish last in the Eastern Conference.
Team president and general manager Chris Drury has a lot of work ahead to rebuild the roster. One major move that's been talked about for a while is trading veteran center Vincent Trocheck. He was on the trading block before the deadline last season, but the team decided to keep him, hoping his market would heat up in the summer. It looks like that was a smart move. Reports indicate there's a ton of interest around the lead for Trocheck. His contract is considered one of the best for a center right now, with three years left at $5,625,000 per season. Plus, he has a 10-team no-trade list that starts July 1st. With the center position being thin this offseason, Trocheck is a hot commodity. He's seen as a valuable asset because he brings experience, leadership, and can contribute on both offense and defense, even on the penalty kill.
The Rangers know what they have, and are reportedly looking for three assets in return, the same price they asked for before the deadline. While no team met that asking price back in March, it seems much more likely a deal will get done this offseason. The Rangers are definitely in a strong position to get a good return for Trocheck.
