from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
- The Rangers have been active in conversations with clubs that either face a protection problem on defense or might be willing to trade a legitimate top-pair righty, but we’re told nothing is imminent.
Among others, yes, the Avalanche’s Tyson Barrie is a person of interest. So is Jacob Trouba of the Jets, but there is nothing at all doing on that front, at least at the moment.
Nate MacKinnon is the player the Blueshirts — among many — would be willing to move just about anyone to acquire, but the problem is Colorado general manager Joe Sakic is asking for just about everyone.
- Of course, Flames president Brian Burke expects the taxpayers of Calgary to ante up for a new arena. After all, according to Forbes, owner N. Murray Edwards’ net worth has dropped from $2.9 billion in 2013 to approximately $2.2 billion as of last week. So what’s a fella to do?
- Squeezed again by the cap — as are essentially all contending revenue-generators — the Blackhawks are again seeking to shed a core contract.
