The NHL trade deadline is March 1 and the New York Rangers should seriously consider dealing a forward, or a pair of forwards prior to that date or risk losing one in the expansion draft for nothing.
For those that don’t know, there will be a new team in 2017. The expansion Las Vegas Golden Knights will begin play as the NHL’s 31st team in 2017.
This offseason, Las Vegas will participate in an expansion draft in which the Golden Knights will select a player from every NHL roster to comprise their team of 30.
