The New York Rangers trade for Jacob Trouba has drawn most of the attention from fans of the Blueshirts, but the competition in the Metropolitan Division has been making some moves as well.
As for the Rangers, there is much speculation that they will still try to acquire a second first round pick by trading current assets. Whether that actually happens is improbable, but there is no doubt that Jeff Gorton is working the phones.
On the table still is the speculation that Vlad Namestnikov is the target of the San Jose Sharks. One year away from unrestricted free agency, the possiblity that the Rangers will seek to deal him is real.
