On the New York Rangers …
Chris Nichols of FanRag Sports: Elliotte Friedman was on the NHL Network and was asked if the New York Rangers could make defenseman Ryan McDonagh and forward Mats Zuccarello available.
“Yeah, I think they’re going to listen,” indicated Friedman. “I think the Rangers look at it big picture. And that is that yes, as we sit here and tape they’re one point out of a playoff berth and Henrik Lundqvist is having a Vezina-caliber season – but do they really believe they’re good enough to win, or do they think they should start looking at some other things.
