The New York Rangers and Jack Eichel have been linked in the NHL Rumor Mill for quite awhile. That was only reinforced when one of hockey’s top insiders, Bob McKenzie confirmed they called about him this past offseason.
Rangers went after Eichel hard during the offseason
Eric Duhatschek of The Athletic noted in a recent mailbag article that, “the Rangers made a hard push on Jack Eichel last summer, but ultimately, couldn’t get anything done.”
This isn’t surprising since it’s no secret that the Rangers want to add another star center to the roster.
