The Islanders swept, the Rangers sleepwalked, and everyone’s mind is already on the impeding Panarin trade.
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The New York Rangers ’ sell-off chatter has (somehow) moved past just Artemi Panarin. Frank Seravalli ’s recent take is that Vincent Trocheck might actually be the more valuable deadline piece. His logic is that Panarin is the bigger star, but he’s a pure rental with a full no-move clause and a massive cap number, which narrows the market fast. Trocheck is a playoff-style center, signed for multiple seasons at a far easier hit, and that kind of cost certainty can make GMs do reckle...
The New York Islanders completed their latest season sweep of the crosstown Rangers with a sleepy 2-1 win at Madison Square Garden.

Artemi Panarin is being held out of the New York Rangers ' lineup until at least the Olympic break. The team doesn't want anything happening to their coveted trade asset as he is going to be traded one way or another before the deadline.

Colorado Avalanche The Colorado Avalanche are the top team in the league, but with the kind of seas...
The Winnipeg Jets began their road trip with a win in New Jersey, but the competition will get more difficult in the second stop when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning. The True North victory didn’t result in our club gaining any ground in the wildcard race, as the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, & Seattle Kraken all won on Tuesday too. Therefore the Jets were in the 4th worst slot in the NHL team points percentage until the New York Rangers dropped another contest last night, leaving Win...

Artemi Panarin's days as a New York Ranger are coming to an end, and there's a very good possibility his next stop with be on the west coast.

The Islanders met a moribund rival and soundly defeated the Rangers, who logged their fewest shots ever in the history of this derby rivalry.

For all of us wondering if Islanders GM Mathieu Darche was going to invest in his currently-playoff-position team or commence with a selloff, the last two days gave us a clear answer. The first-year GM is not going big-game hunting, but he is managing assets (and spending a little cap space) to bring in veteran […]
