The NHL trade deadline is on April 12, and I am having a hard time figuring out what the sixth place New York Rangers should do with Ryan Strome. As I’ve thought about him, his place on the 2020-21 Rangers, and what the team may attempt to do for 2021-22, it has become clear to me that there’s no easy answer. And to be honest, I think that’s surprising, especially considering how the offseason went for Mr. Strome.
The Rangers tried, and failed, to make a deal for another top six center, specifically one who could play with Artemiy Panarin.
