Larry Brooks of NY Post: The New York Rangers are open for business and they are looking to add to their prospects and draft picks.
Forward Kevin Hayes is a pending unrestricted free agent after signing a one-year, $5.175 million this offseason.
Forward Mats Zuccarello and defenseman Adam McQuaid are also pending UFAs.
If Rangers management believes their rebuild will take more than three years to make them into a playoff contender, there will be lots of movement at the trade deadline.
A long-term deal for Hayes could be for six years at between $5.
