Here are some of the latest rumors regarding the New York Rangers.
Brad Richards and Fedor Tyutin
According to ESPN, the Dallas Stars are set to begin extension talks with Brad Richards this weekend. If the Stars and Richards cannot agree on a deal, the Rangers will be top trade candidates come the NHL trade deadline in February.
According to Larry Brooks of the NY Post, the Rangers have a strong interest in left-handed defenseman Fedor Tyutin. A former Rangers defenseman, Tyutin was traded from the Rangers two seasons ago in a trade that saw Nikolai (now Nikolay) Zherdev become a New York Ranger. The Rangers are in search for a veteran left-handed defenseman, and Tyutin may be a trade target.
Alexander Frolov Being Shopped?
According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, the Rangers may be shopping forward Alexander Frolov. Unhappy with his ice-time, Frolov has complained to coach John Tortorella, but he has yet to ask for a trade. If Frolov is traded, it is believed draft picks will be the only return.
Tim Kennedy Update
Rangers' GM Glen Sather has told Tim Kennedy that he can seek a team that will trade for him. Kennedy was an excellent off-season signing by the Rangers, but in a stupid move by management, he was assigned to the Rangers' affiliate team (Hartford Wolfpack, now Connecticut Whale). Kennedy will likely be traded sometime soon, with many teams in need of a young forward like him. The Columbus Blue Jackets, Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Devils, and New York Islanders are teams that may have interest in Kennedy.
That's all for now.
