Larry Brooks of the NY Post: The New York Rangers and coach David Quinn should start working towards the trade deadline to build some trade value for players who may not be in their long-term plans.
Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk could return tomorrow. He’ll be 30-years old next month, has two years left on deal and a $6.65 million cap hit. He carries a limited no-trade clause.
Forward Mats Zuccarello hasn’t increased in trade value since returning from injury. The Rangers shouldn’t wait on trying to create a bidding war for him.
