The New York Rangers had a an outstanding run during the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year, and were heavy favourites to go all the way and win the Cup. However the Florida Panthers had a different plan and eliminated the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
An NHL insider stated the Rangers may be interested in trading Mika Zibanejad for the Bruins first round pick of 2025 or 2026, along with a promising young player like John Beecher or Matthew Poitras.
However, this trade is most likely to never happen as Mika Zibanejad still currently has six years left on his $8.5 million contract and also has a full NMC. But if this trade was to be entertained by the Rangers, who would you rather them trade for, John Beecher or Matthew Poitras?
