Over the past couple of months, the Rangers really haven’t been linked to anyone other than Jack Eichel. However, the reality is Eichel is a stretch pass at best. The Kings have more of a need for a star player than the Rangers do, plus they have more trade pieces. The cost for Eichel is also likely to be cupboard robbing, which seems to fly in the face of the Rangers youth hoarding strategy. Instead, if the Rangers are really going to explore the trade market for a center, I’d take a long look at Gabriel Landeskog in Colorado, if the Avs decide they can’t re-sign him.
