NHL Insider Identifies Three 'Untouchable' Rangers in Trade Talks
NHL Insider Identifies Three 'Untouchable' Rangers in Trade Talks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Rangers are preparing for a potentially active offseason, and, according to Arthur Staple of The Athletic, only three players are safe from trade consideration. Advertisement After a season that fell short of expectations, general manager Chris Drury appears intent on making significant changes to the roster he assembled. Drury promised to revamp the team as soon as last November when he sent a leaguewide memo, and although he pulled off a few transactions, the roster remained intact for the most part. Staple confirmed Drury's initial plans are still active, reporting from the NHL combine ahead of this year's draft that the Rangers are one of several teams expected to pursue major adjustments this summer. "Shesterkin, Fox, and Panarin may be only #NYR untouchables in trade talk," Staple wrote on X. Advertisement That trio arguably features the most consistent performers on a Rangers team that fell short of a Stanley Cup Final appearance by one round last season but failed to make the postseason this year. Goalie Igor Shesterkin and defenseman Adam Fox are under long-term deals. Forward Artemi Panarin is entering the final year of his seven-year contract, but judging by Staple's report, the franchise wants to keep him in tow, possibly signing him to an extension shortly. New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin (10) celebrates with defenseman K'Andre Miller (79) after scoring a goal against the Carolina Cruz-Imagn Images With those three players protected, the remainder of the roster appears more fluid in terms of potential exits. Players like Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, K'Andre Miller and Alexis Lafreniere could surface in trade talks as the offseason unfolds, as they made it to the rumor mill before the trade deadline. Advertisement According to PuckPedia, the Rangers enter the offseason with $8.4 million in cap space.

All Things Rangers And Playoff Final
1. Athletic Pal Arthur Staple writes that the only Rangers "Untouchables" are Igor Shesterkin, Adam Fox and Breadman Panarin. 2. The Maven gladly would make any one of that trio "Touchable.." Advertisement 3. Shesterkin has so far displayed no inclination to play up to his ridiculously bloated contract. I'd take low-cost-in-the-Final Stu Skinner over Iggy any day. 4. Blueshirt fans have seen up close and personal how Fox's game has deteriorated. But some sleepy GMs may not and a crafty return could be available. 5. Panarin has passed his peak but he'll attract plenty from a GM who can't spell backchecking. 6. Then again, some NHLers never peak. Exhibit A=Corey Perry; Exhibit B=Brad Marchand. 7. Back to the Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons who wonders why the successful Knicks fire their coach and Non-Playoff Drury still has a job. "Do lousy," writes Simmons, "and get an extension." Advertisement 8. With the stirring Cup Final Round tied at one win apiece, there's an easy way to figure the winner of Game Three. FLIP A COIN! 9. One way for the Oilers to keep Connor McDavid in Edmonton would be to put him on the ballot for Canadian Prime Minister. 10. The only Ranger whose play is evenly remotely – I said "remotely" – like Brad Marchand's is Will Cuylle.
