Rangers possibly talking trading up with Penguins?

While we do expect today to be relatively quiet for the Rangers, we will still hear a few rumors about their draft day strategy. Per Rob Rossi, one of those strategies may be moving up from #23 to #14, trading with the Penguins to do so. It would seem odd for the two division rivals to engage in such a discussion, but this is likely just kicking tires.

So far, sounds like Penguins still plan to keep first-round pick. But I’ve heard they’ve talked with multiple teams — Rangers, Ducks, Jets, and Flames — recently about potential trades.

Caveat: things change fast at #NHLDraft

As a draft outside, I have no idea how these trade up scenarios materialize.…
