They’ve tried it twice before, but should the Rangers trade for Steven Stamkos now

You may have heard this before. The Rangers should try and trade for Tampa Bay Lightning center, Steven Stamkos. No, this isn’t just your regular trade rumor chatter, you actually heard this before…twice actually.

Glen Sather “acquired” Steven Stamkos in 2009

“How close did we come?” Sather repeated back Larry Brooks’ question. “We shook hands on it, that’s how close.” So then, why isn’t Steven Stamkos a New York Ranger right now!

As the story was told to the NY Post by Glen Sather in 2010, the deal was struck with co-owner Len Barrie.
