The New York Rangers have two serious situations that need to be addressed prior to the NHL trade deadline on Feb. 25. The contracts of Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Hayes will expire at season’s end.
It’s understood in today’s NHL that it is not wise or productive to let a player just walk away at the end of their contract. The situation the Rangers are in is considered to be more concerning. One is a fan favorite and the other, until his injury, was enjoying a great contract year.
Zuccarello has been mentally preparing to be traded for over a full year.
