NYR Trade Deadline Meter 2/23/20

The NHL Trade Deadline is tomorrow at 3PM. Here is the latest update for the Rangers trade meter with some minimal movement, but still very noteworthy.

The Latest Meter

Once again, based on the latest information from around the league and what I’ve been able to learn, the meter represents the likelihood of a player being traded by the deadline tomorrow. Here is the latest meter showing Chris Kreider moving up and all but certain to get traded.

Hopes of a new contract between Chris Kreider and the New York Rangers are fading. Obviously, if the negotiation doesn’t shift in the hours ahead, Kreider will remain the top available player on the TSN Tradebait Board leading up to tomorrows deadline.

Jesper Fast takes a small step back because the Rangers still have playoff aspirations and they may not want to lose two veterans to trades. Fast would only garner a 2nd rounder and he may have more value as the Rangers own rental instead. Last note, Lias Andersson moves up a notch as it is possible he could be dealt with another player or prospect to Edmonton for Jesse Puljujarvi.
