Rangers Shockingly Place Two Top Defensemen on Trade Block

This summer got off to a red-hot start in New York, as the team have already named two-time Stanley Cup winner Mike Sullivan as their new Head Coach, as well as moving the longest tenured player on the team in Chris Kreider, who was traded to the Anaheim Ducks.

The moves reportedly aren't going to stop there, as some insiders have speculated this could be a team to closely watch for an offer sheet, as well as going in on some big time free agents.

Now, we know that the market for defenseman K'Andre Miller is fantastic, as Frank Seravalli has labelled the market as 'robust' as the team looks to shake up their blue line, with a trade likely to come sooner, rather than later.

On top of that, Seravalli has now noted that young defenseman Zac Jones is also available for trade, as the 24-year old has not quite developed the way that New York would have liked when they drafted him in the third round of the 2019 NHL Draft.

This past season, Jones played in 46 games with the Rangers, tallying a career high of 11 points, and given that he's undersized as a defenseman at 5-foot-11, the production isn't where it needs to be for him to be given a key role on this team moving forward.

Unsurprisingly, New York are simply looking to shake things up as they attempt to bounce back from a very underwhelming campaign, and while there's a chance that they can't get something of value for both Miller and Jones, expect their names to be out there for the entire summer until a deal gets done.
