The next few hours will include the Rangers drafting first overall and possibly 22nd. However, we may also see the rights of RFA, Ryan Strome traded. That’s because the deadline to give him a qualifying offer will expire tomorrow at 5PM. So if the Rangers do not intend to qualify him, it is unlikely they will just let him become a UFA on Friday. A chance for a trade tonight has just increased.
There’s still time, but we know the #NYR have given QO to RFAs DeAngelo, Lemieux, and Georgiev. Yet, the team has not officially announced.
