Every year around this time of the hockey season, fans speculate who will get traded and what they can get. For many, NHL players are like buying and selling stocks with little emotional attachment. In reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth and it’s sad that we forget these players aren’t robots and this is a very stressful time for them.
One player on the Rangers that has fallen into this category is Mats Zuccarello.
While there is a large contingent of fans that are begging for the Rangers to keep him, there is any equally large portion that is focused on maximizing what he can bring back.
