Rangers Consider Trading Kreider, Trouba

New York Rangers general manager Chris Drury is actively exploring trade options, having placed veteran players Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba, along with former second overall pick Kaapo Kakko, on the trade block. This decision comes after the team experienced a three-game losing streak, despite currently holding a playoff position, indicating dissatisfaction with veteran performances. Both Kreider and Trouba have 15-team no-trade clauses, complicating potential deals. Additionally, defenseman Ryan Lindgren is also gaining interest from other teams as he struggles with a dismal performance this season. The Edmonton Oilers, among others, are likely to be involved in trade discussions as they seek to bolster their roster. As the trade deadline approaches, the Rangers are under pressure to shake up their lineup and improve their standings.
