NHL Rumors: Flames, Rangers, Red Wings and Wild

Jim Matheson: Have heard that the Calgary Flames could have some interest in right-handed defenseman Alex Petrovic.
Rangers still have trade options for more cap space
Brett Cyrgalis of the NY Post: Brendan Smith and Marc Staal had been buyout options for the New Rangers, but with the addition of righties Jacob Trouba and Adam Fox, made Kevin Shattenkirk more expendable.
The Rangers do have some trade options to clear out more salary. Chris Kreider ($4.625 million), Vladislav Namestnikov ($4 million) and Ryan Strome ($3.1 million).
A Kreider extension would likely cost $7 million per season for seven years.
