6 days agoPossible fun Rangers trade down scenario with Seattle - Blue Seat Blogs
Rangers at 5th overall can trade down, with Seattle at 7th offering a creative option involving Shane Wright and Rangers assets.
The rumor mill continues to grind as the season hurtles towards the Olympic break. The prevailing chatter has focused on Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright. The former fourth-overall pick from the 2022 NHL Draft is reportedly on the trade block, as The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta first reported. This situation could provide an opportunity for the Maple Leafs to continue their roster turnover.
As the Olympic roster freeze nears, more and more players are rumored to be available. One that caught our attention was Shane Wright in Seatlle, who would be the perfect Rangers trade target. Seattle is rumored to be dangling Wright in exchange for a "legitimate top six threat," which the Rangers just so happen to have available right now. As Chris Drury wants the Rangers to become younger and faster, it's hard to find a more perfect Rangers trade target
