Dan Rosen of NHL.com: New York Rangers – the Rangers have $20 million in cap space and some holes to fill. They need a top-nine center and maybe two overall. They need to re-sign RFA Mika Zibanejad who will be looking for a raise from his $2.625 million. The Rangers could use a top-pairing right defenseman to play with Ryan McDonagh. Kevin Shattenkirk would be costly and re-signing Brendan Smith is an option. They also need a backup goalie.
Montreal Canadiens – Alex Galchenyuk is a RFA and has been in the trade rumor mill.
