Nashville is shopping Matthias Ekholm and he would be an ideal acquisition for the Rangers. The experienced veteran presence that the Rangers could definitely use on the back end. A very steady player with plenty left in the tank. I have no idea if they would be interested in DeAngelo but I’d still be inquiring. Nice contract ($3.75 MM through 2021-22) that fits the timeline for the arrival of players like Matt Robertson and Zac Jones.

This is a place I’d spend some of my prospect capital.

They said there’s only 3 untouchables. That seems rediculous to me.

These are professional athletes that get paid millions. They have access to better sports nutrition and training. You people are acting like he is recovering from a debilitating injury. Its preposterous to think he hasn't recovered fully from it. I seriously doubt the rangers would continue to let him play if that were the case. I know we have a soft rangers team but man some of you fans are making excuses for these guys is ridiculous. He sucks at this point in time PERIOD.

I'm one of the people that is not convinced it's Covid but this post is ridiculous. Covid CAN be debilitating even for young fit people.

you responded to a post about Cam Newton. I have no idea what Mika’s deal is. It’s possible he’s suffering from post Covid issues. Maybe not. But it’s absolutely an issue for some athletes.

And it doesn’t matter how much you get paid or what your medical care is, because doctors still don’t know enough about the effects.

Nashville is stuck with four reputable defensemen and only three available protection spots. Ellis and Josi are locks...either Fabbro or Ekholm is too good to expose to an expansion draft. That is part of the equation. Another part is that the Rangers have a protection spot available.

I think any Eichel trade (by any team) will be preceded by a tremendous amount of research before there is any offer.

Don’t assume that research will come back clean.

I, too, would advise researching any player the team plans to bring into the organization.

Ok guys, I get it. Leave it be. Covid is the reason he sucks. Let's not get emotional about it

Think I’ve mentioned it before, but as a Browns fan, Myles Garrett ABSOLUTELY was hampered by lingering effects almost two months after he was cleared to play.

One of these days, I hope to hear what this is about. I know it's been hinted at a few times regarding Eichel.

I saw the Timberwolves fired their head coach and hired an assistant coach from another team as their new HC. Is that allowed in the NHL?
