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.

New York Rangers Begin Home-And-Home With Ottawa; NYR In Talks With Wild?
Tonight, the New York Rangers will play host to the Ottawa Senators in the first game of a two game home-and-home series.
The two teams last played in the preseason, splitting a home-and-home set at the beginning of October.
The Rangers lineup is expected to remain the same as it was Friday night against the New York Islanders, but I will have an update (if needed) around three-o'clock.
Now to the rumors...
Multiple media outlets are suggesting that the Rangers have reached out to the Minnesota Wild regarding a possible trade. The Wild are looking to make a deal which would "shake-up" the team, and the Rangers may be a perfect trade partner.
According to a source, Rangers superstar winger, Marian Gaborik, reached out to GM Glen Sather, telling him to target certain players in a trade with Minny.
Names that have reportedly come up in discussions are: PM-Bouchard, Greg Zanon, Brent Burns, Cam Barker, Andrew Brunnette, Marek Zidlicky, and Nick Schultz.
If Sather does make a deal with Minnesota, expect him to grab either a centerman (Bouchard), a sharp winger (Brunnette), or a lefty defenseman (Zanon).

Report: Maple Leafs' Burke Inquired About van Riemsdyk
Despite already having the youngest team in the National Hockey League, Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke is looking to get younger.
According to Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun (via Tim Pinaccio of csnphilly.com), Burke contacted Philadelphia Flyers GM Paul Holmgren about the availability of forward James van Riemsdyk. The report says Holmgren was quick to tell Burke that van Riemsdyk is not available.
Burke has been rumored to be combing the entire league for a trading partner in an attempt to spark his team, especially offensively. With over $3 million in salary cap space to work with, Burke certainly has the ability and flexibility to make a big trade.
Van Riemsdyk, 21, has three goals and seven assists in 22 games this season, which would put him seventh on the Maple Leafs in points with ten. In 100-career NHL regular season games, van Riemsdyk has 18 goals and 27 assists. He also played in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 World Junior Championship tournaments for team USA, scoring a total of 21 points in a combined 12 games.
