In the wake of their failed bid to acquire Quinn Hughes last week, the New York Rangers likely aren’t done hunting for a big-time star player.
NHL Insider Chris Johnston of the Athletic reported Monday that the Rangers’ appetite to acquire an elite talent is real, which is why they were one of several teams to make an offer on Hughes before the Vancouver Canucks traded him to the Minnesota Wild this past Friday.
“The Rangers are desperate to shake up their team in the sense of trying to bring in a game-breaker,” Johnston said Monday on his podcast.
