2/26/18 | 2:36PM: On TSN, Pierre LeBrun said "Rangers have had offers that have improved today and are on the table. I think that I am ready to say that probably for McDonagh, we talked about this with Karlsson, probably easier for him to move on after everything he has gone through this week with the trade speculation. That is probably what his camp is urging the Rangers to do."
2:33PM: Craig Custance tweets that the Rangers have gotten five "good offers" on McDonagh.
1:42PM: On TSN, Pierre LeBrun says that things are heating up with McDonagh and that interested teams are starting to increase their offers.

On TSN's Insider Trading:
Pierre LeBrun spoke about Ryan McDonagh and said, "what is interesting and it's what I would do if I was the New York Rangers, the top three teams in the Atlantic Division have shown varying degrees of interest in Ryan McDonagh. Tampa Bay, Boston, Toronto but there are two other teams two that have kept tabs with the Rangers on McDonagh. This is a hockey deal, not a rental deal, multi-asset, certainly when it comes to the Bruins, they are still in on McDonagh but the price has to go down, and I am sure the Rangers are saying that they have to bring their offer up."
LeBrun spoke about Michael Grabner and said, "it is unbelievable the action on Grabner, it reminds me so much of last year with Patrick Eaves. Why Grabner? Because of the cap hit. What I was told today was that just when the Rangers thought they had narrowed the list down for the bidding on Michael Grabner, other teams have come in in the last couple of hours, teams they have not heard from in the last week that have gotten in. The bidding is in on Grabner and you can understand why."
Darren Dreger spoke about Rick Nash and said, "you have to look at the market specific to Rick Nash and wonder if it's not being hampered by some of the other big players in play like Erik Karlsson or Ryan McDonagh. The ask on Rick Nash is a first round pick, an "A" prospect and a "B" prospect. Perhaps Jeff Gorton and the Rangers are willing to soften a bit there."
Pierre LeBrun said of Nash, "we believe all along that the Predators would be a player and believe that Poile had contact with the Rangers."

10:53AM: Pierre LeBrun says that McDonagh does not need to approve a trade to Toronto so there are no issues if the Leafs decide to "get serious on an offer to the Rangers."

2/21/18 |7:09PM: Dreger said on TSN1050, "I believe that the Leafs remain and are keenly, keenly interested in Ryan McDonagh. What will have to happen for Toronto to acquire him? Good question. You are talking about 3-4 pieces, there is no urgency from New York to trade Ryan McDonagh. They are willing to listen and if Lou Lamoriello is willing to offer the 3-4 assets, and they are not going to be cheap. Throw out a prospect, who is the piece that fills into that group of four? It will be significant or the Rangers won't make that deal with Toronto or anybody else."
2/19/18 | 9:45AM: Craig Custance said on WGR Radio in Buffalo on Monday morning that he feels there is a "real chance" that McDonagh gets moved because trading him now would give the acquiring team at least two potential playoff runs.
He added that if the Rangers are looking to get a return similar to what they gave up for Keith Yandle, that kind of deal has to happen now.
Reports indicate that the Ottawa Senators are listening to potential trade offers on Erik Karlsson as Karlsson is slated to be a UFA following next season.
Pierre LeBrun writes at The Athletic that the Rangers are paying attention to the Karlsson situation because it would have an impact on a potential Ryan McDonagh trade.
While LeBrun notes that Karlsson and McDonagh are different players, there are only "so many teams willing to pay big assets now before the deadline for a top-four stud defenceman."
Rumors suggest that it would take a "King's Ransom" to acquire Karlsson and that an acquiring team may also have to take on Bobby Ryan's contract (4-years and $7.25 million per). (TSN)
2/20/18 | 10:05PM: John Shannon tweets that five teams have expressed interest in McDonagh.
Elliotte Friedman writes that he isn't sure if Boston is willing to pay the price the Rangers want for McDonagh and that there is supposedly Western Conference interest in him as well. (Sportsnet)

On Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday:
Elliotte Friedman said, "Ryan McDonagh is one of the biggest names on the market right now, a lot of teams are looking at Boston and saying a) they can do it, we've mentioned Tampa, and b) there could be a fit on the left side of the Boston defense."
Nick Kypreos said, "Joe Resnick may be the most popular agent the next few weeks because he has the hottest and biggest fish in the trade market in Rick Nash. It appears that Nashville seems to be leading the charge in interest for Rick Nash, followed by Dallas. It's not necessarily a money thing with him in terms of their interest in maybe re-signing him, we know he has made almost $90 million in his career so it's really a chance to win a Stanley Cup."
Host David Amber said that "Nash in Nashville makes sense to me."

On TSN's Insider Trading on Thursday, the following was said about the Rangers:
Darren Dreger said on Rick Nash, "Rick Nash's agent is a popular agent, maybe the most popular agent in the NHL right now just given the fact that Nash does have the contract and trade protection. I'm told that Resnick has spoken to at least 8, maybe 10 teams already who do have interest in Nash. As far Nash and his interest, I believe that it's the Nashville Predators #1 and perhaps the Dallas Stars #2."
Dreger on 25 scouts being at MSG on Wednesday, "25 scouts were at Wednesday's game so the league is paying close attention to the business dealings of GM Jeff Gorton and media has targeted Rick Nash and to a certain degree Michael Grabner, but you have to look at the other pieces. I'm hearing that JT Miller, a very serviceable winger is generating a bit of a buzz around the NHL and there is intrigue around Chris Kreider as well. He is still recovering from the blood clot in his right arm, expected to return in perhaps in mid-March, there might be a low level deal there."
10:20PM: On NBCSN on Wednesday, Bob McKenzie spoke about the Rangers and said:
"A lowercase "r" rebuild. It's not a teardown. Let's make it perfectly clear here, Jeff Gorton, the GM of the Rangers and his management team are not looking at burning this thing down and bottoming out for 3-5 years like a lot of franchises have done. He is most certainly in the mode in listening on anybody, I would go so far to say this, there is only one untouchable on the New York Rangers and that is Henrik Lundqvist. We will see rentals flying out the door, Rick Nash, Michael Grabner, Nick Holden, those guys will be dealt before the deadline. Jeff Gorton will listen on Ryan McDonagh, he will listen on Mats Zuccarello and he is going to listen on some of the younger guys like JT Miller, Chris Kreider and others. I can't imagine a deal that would get Brady Skjei out of New York any time soon but I also know that at this time the Rangers are not shutting down any possibilities and their quest right now is to get as many first and second round picks, prospects and young players as they can to try and reload over the next number of years."

12:04PM: Elliotte Friedman writes "not to underestimate" the interest in Nick Holden as a depth defense option for playoff teams. (Sportsnet)
2/6/18 | 6:48PM: On TSN's Insider Trading, Bob McKenzie said "Nick Holden is a UFA defensemen who could be on the move by the deadline."

2/7/18 | 10:20PM: On NBCSN on Wednesday, Bob McKenzie spoke about Nash and said that the Rangers are getting a lot of calls on Nash, the price will be high and the Rangers are prepared to eat up to 50% of his cap hit to facilitate a trade to a team that might be near the cap.
He said that right now the Rangers are asking for a first round pick, a top prospect and a lesser player/pick/prospect.

Rick Nash has submitted his no-trade list (Updates)
( Adam Hunger)
6:30PM: Elliotte Friedman was on SiriusXM earlier today and said that he thinks Rick Nash will be traded from the Rangers by the deadline but that the "biggest question is if" he returns in the offseason.
Friedman adds, "The Rangers like him, obviously his son likes being in New York. I think the biggest question is going to be does he go back next season and I wouldn't be surprised if Grabner gets traded and the same thing happens there." (SiriusXM)
On who could go after Nash, Friedman said "I think Nashville will be in it. I think St. Louis will be in it. It all comes down to where he is willing to go. I think San Jose, if Joe Thornton is coming back, Joe Thornton and Rick Nash are tight. I think those are two guys that would love to play with each other. I think there are a lot of options there. Normally I would put Calgary there but they don't have a high pick. I think there's going to be a lot of interest in Nash, I think Nashville is a team that's really looking at things and it actually makes a lot of sense to me." (SiriusXM)

Larry Brooks wrote on Friday that the Rangers should be able to "cash in" on Rick Nash as they reportedly look to trade the pending UFA before the trade deadline. (NY Post)
Brooks writes that Nash is the "perfect fit" for a team looking to add forward and lists Dallas, St. Louis, San Jose and possibly Tampa Bay as good fits. (NY Post)

The day in Mets trade rumors, and where things stand...
Matthew Cerrone: According to multiple reports, acquiring A's RH reliever Tyler Clippard?will not keep the Mets from also trying to trade for a hitter.
I've been hearing all day that, while the price for Justin Upton is sky high, it will likely drop as the week goes on. The kicker is that I think he could get moved through waivers in August, so it will not shock me to see San Diego keep him through Friday, despite everyone in baseball saying they're desperate to unload. I'd love to see the Mets get him or bring home Brewers OF Carlos Gomez, who can be had for a similar price. Of course, I'm still holding out hope for Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki, but if Colorado is smart they will do nothing and wait to create a larger?market this winter.
