What Should A Derek Stepan Trade Look Like?
Amidst the chaos of Dan Girardi getting bought out by the New York Rangers; hockey insider Bob McKenzie dropped a rather interesting little tweet into the mix
NYR centre Derek Stepan's name is fairly prominent in trade chatter. Stepan's contract has four more years with AAV of $6M.

While many fans have been debating and speculating about trading the 26-year-old center, this tweet was really the first time that it’s confirmed that Stepan’s name is among those names being discussed the most. The next logical question, of course, is what would or should a Stepan trade look like?
