The New York Rangers are known for making splashes around the trade deadline each year that they are in contention for the playoffs. Who are some of the potential trade deadline candidates that the Rangers could target?
Last season the New York Rangers went out and acquired Brendan Smith from the Detroit Red Wings at the trade deadline. The year before that, the Rangers went out an acquired Eric Staal from the Carolina Hurricanes.
