With a handful of games left in the Winter Olympics, the NHL season resuming signals one last important detail for the Rangers - the trade deadline. Once the deadline passes we'll have a proper idea of the intentions of Drury and the timeline in mind to get back to competitive hockey. Will the deadline be a flurry of players gone to signal a lengthy rebuilding process, or will he hold true to the wording of the letter and simply try to retool the roster?

With the NHL season on pause, we enter not only the roster freeze but the Olympic break while the New York Rangers currently hold the 3rd best odds at the number one overall pick in the upcoming NHL entry draft. Outside of some luck to get the 1st pick, which I don't think many Rangers fans are confident they could actually secure some franchise altering talent, we chat in this episode about other teams in a similar position that may be worth chatting with to drum up a potential trade. The state of the upcoming UFA pool has been long discussed, and the Rangers brass needs to look elsewhere to improve this team if they wish to turn it around sooner. Whether it be Thomas from the Blues, Huberdeau from the flames, or Tkachuk from the Senators, there are a handful of teams floundering in mediocrity that I would be aggressively calling to make a deal if I'm Chris Drury.

The news finally dropped just as the clock struck 3pm this afternoon, signaling the NHL roster freeze is now in place. The bombshell that every Rangers fan had been anticipating all day, broken by Adam Schefter of all people, Artemi Panarin has officially been traded to the LA Kings for a underwhelming return. We dive in on this episode discussing the trade, which was spearheaded by Panarin's leverage in the situation, and why I would personally rather have a 20 year old prospect than a late 20s pick in the current retool climate. I'm just as sad to see him go as I knew I would be, but hopefully this is the first positive step towards brighter futures on Broadway.
