“I think, you know, I know everybody’s really excited about Panarin. I kind of wonder if it might end up being something like Braden Schneider, to be honest.
You know, I, I think that, you know, the Rangers just had their scouting meeting, and kind of the feeling around the league coming out of that is that Chris Drury has reiterated, if you have an idea, call me.
And some of his players have protection, and they have control over whether or not they go, but there’s other players who don’t, and he’s willing to listen to all of them. I like that you put Carrick up there, because I think that’s the kind of player who could get some interest too.
But one of the guys I’m wondering about is Schneider, whose contract is up after this year. And I definitely think there’s a lot on (Vincent) Trocheck too. And just the question is going to be, ‘Where can he go without permission, and how high can the Rangers get this to go?’
But one name I did hear a little bit about today, knowing I was coming on here and, and calling around, aside from the obvious ones, was Schneider. I think that for a defenseman who’s a bit heavier, there’s always interest in that kind of a player. And I think there is some in him and the Rangers may have a decision to make there.”
