    Per Vincent Mercogliano of USA Today (emphasis mine).

    “It’s not a matter of ***if*** the Rangers will be adding new players prior to Friday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline – it’s just a matter of ***who***.”

    “The ***expectation*** among multiple league sources who spoke to lohud.com, part of the USA TODAY Network, is that team president Chris Drury will acquire ***at least two forwards*** and ***maybe even a depth defenseman***.”

    “Bidding currently in the ***final stages*** for one of his targets, ***Seattle center Alex Wennberg***. Those negotiations could come to a ***conclusion at any moment***, with the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche believed to New York’s primary competition.”

    So Vince is saying guentzel now, and it seems like other teams are said to be out. Can Friday be here already

    If we trade kakko to the pens I will forever be annoyed with this story line.

    If we win a cup idgaf but teams in the west scare me, and kakko in a pens jersey tearing it up – bah

    No Wennberg, please. He is a downgrade.

    Adding Guentzel and Wennberg w.o losing Kakko would be massive. It appears Drury already said fuck no on Perreault and Otter so I’m not too worried about losing anything.

  6. We don’t need a 3C ffs Drury what are you doing

    This could largely be Drury playing chess by showing there are other better options besides Henrique and Vatrano in an effort to drive the cost of them down.

    Wennberg isn’t a guy I want to get. 46% faceoffs, and 25 points isn’t exactly something we need right now
