The New York Rangers haven't had the rebound season that fans and experts alike anticipated this early into the 2025-26 season. So far this season, the Rangers are 4-5-2 through their first 11 games. Some of their notable, concerning losses were against some of the worst teams in hockey in the San Jose Sharks and Calgary Flames.
If the Rangers' struggles continue, the trade buzz is only going to increase. Artemi Panarin is already receiving some buzz, as he's set to be an unrestricted free agent next summer. One of their younger players in Brennan Othmann has garnered interest from other teams.
