The Rangers and the Islanders are both struggling. The Boo Birds are out calling for Lou Lamoriello to be fired on Long Island while Rangers fans are calling on management to bring in some help, and apparently there are some big names out there being used as trade bait?Absolutely. Chris Drury, the Rangers general manager is open for business, he's let that be known to other GMs around the league.
The mere fact that they're publicly known to be available amongst other Rangers players tells you a little bit about the situation in New York, which might surprise some people. If you look at the standings, the Rangers are holding down a playoff spot at this point but there's been a general displeasure with the displeasure with the performance of some of the veteran players on the Rangers this season.
There is some sizable interest in him as a promising right-hand defensive prospect. But at this point in time I think Columbus is trying to sort through where the best offers are coming from. Initially they had focused on trying to get another prospect like him, sort of a kind-for-kind type of deal but I think Columbus is shifting into a mode where they'll start to listen on draft-pick packages in exchange for Jiricek and that might help move things along on the trade front.
It's a player that wants a fresh start and I think the organization is committed to giving it to him and we'll see if they can complete a deal in the near future.
