Hello and happy Monday, friends. Hell of a Pats game yesterday, wasn’t it?! I mean, Drake’s gotta hold on to the ball better going forward.

The New York Rangers are ready for their fire sale. Nearly everyone is up for grabs, and it's beginning to sound like center Vincent Trocheck could be the No. 1 trade piece that teams around the league clamour for. " It’s Vincent Trocheck that will likely be the most valuable piece the Rangers could move at this time," writes insider Marco D'Amico.
