Overview

• The New York Rangers are reportedly open to trading captain Jacob Trouba and veteran forward Chris Kreider to address team struggles.
• Trouba's contract, including a 15-team no-trade clause, complicates potential deals, with teams like Detroit, Ottawa, and Vancouver speculated as possible destinations.
• Kreider, a consistent goal scorer and team leader, has drawn interest from teams such as Boston, Vegas, and Buffalo, but his no-trade clause and high cap hit remain obstacles.
• The Rangers are seeking to shake up their roster after recent losses to Edmonton and St. Louis, despite a solid 12-7-1 record overall.
• Both players' potential trades are speculative at this stage, with no confirmed deals or formal announcements from the team.
