On Kevin Shattenkirk …
Larry Brooks: The New York Rangers have checked in on free agent defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk and will talk again on Saturday. If Shattenkirk were to sign with the Rangers he’d have to leave millions of on the table.

Chris Nichols: Friedman “Heard earlier in week maybe #Stars might try him on short-term deal, but not sure that’ll happen w/ Methot there.”
Chris Nichols: Friedman “If he really wants to go to New York, it’s going to take some work between him and the team.”
