NHL Trade Rumor: Pierre Lebrun speculates more trade in line for NY Rangers after Jacob Trouba and Kappo Kakko (Image via Imagn)
The New York Rangers have had a tumultuous start to the 2024-25 NHL season. After a 12-5-1 start, the Rangers were crushed 6-2 by the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, November 23rd. This led to general manager Chris Drury leaking that core pieces Jacob Trouba and Chris Kreider were available for trade, with the team looking to shake things up.
Ever since this attempt to wake up the team, the Rangers have spiraled, going 3-9-0 and falling out of a playoff spot. These struggles have caused speculation about what else could be in the works with the Rangers moving forward. Here is what Pierre LeBrun of TSN had to say on the state of the Rangers on "SC with Jay Onrait" Wednesday night.
"The trade freeze comes Thursday night at midnight, so I don’t know if he’s got another one in him right now. But certainly between now and March 7th, I don’t think he’s done. The Rangers have been the biggest disappointment of the season in the NHL. You could argue Nashville, but unlike them, the Rangers were two wins away from the Stanley Cup Final six months ago. To see their fall from that position to this is unreal," LeBrun said. (2:50 onwards)
