Part of being a successful rebuild is knowing when to pounce on a team with little leverage. The Anaheim Ducks are a team that is on the verge of losing its window of contention. The team’s best players are reaching their age related regression and there has not been a Stanley Cup. The New York Rangers should look to swing a deal with a desperate team.
Last year at the deadline, New York made deals with the New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning. All three of those were teams in the thick of the playoff race that needed more to sure up their lineup.
