New York Rangers: Ranking the team’s assets for the trade deadline

The New York Rangers are ready to rebuild. Many players are reportedly on the trading block, but who can get the most valuable return?

The New York Rangers publicly announced their intention to trade key players and hit the reset button. They have several attractive pieces, ranging from leading scorer Michael Grabner to captain Ryan McDonagh.

While it would be surprising if every Ranger on the market gets traded, it seems an inevitability that some of them will. But depending on who gets moved, the returns may vary. If the Rangers move McDonagh, for instance, the change in team trajectory will be much more substantial than if they move someone like David Desharnais.

Blue Line Station took a look at the five most valuable trade pieces the Rangers have, and what kind of impact they might return.
