The New York Rangers aren’t interested in undertaking a full-scale rebuild, but they’ll still be facing some tough personnel decisions if they decide to retool their roster before the March 6 trade deadline.
Though the idea of dealing star left wing Artemi Panarin dominates the thinking around such an approach, the Rangers should also be all-in on trading Vincent Trocheck, whose value around the League has likely never been higher.
There’s no doubt that Trocheck’s contributions to the Blueshirts are significant. The impact of his grit, fire and leadership on this team, beyond his outstanding two-way play, is huge.
