There has been little communication from New York Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton regarding the free agent status of Kevin Hayes and Mats Zuccarello.
Both are unrestricted free agents at the end of the season and with the trade deadline just five days away, the impending trade calls have been anticipated for some time. It’s a fine line between re-signing either player or trading them.
The “rebuilding” status of the team has caused more indecision than was originally thought.
Matt Larkin of the Hockey News spoke with Gorton and what he had to say about the two players is pretty much the same argument beat reporters, team bloggers and fans alike have been discussing for some time now.
