He finished his 2025-26 season scoring 16 goals for 53 points in 67 games played with the New York Rangers. Brisson will be quite busy this offseason and has worked with stars who\u2019ve shocked waves with their moves around the league.<\/p>\n<p>Trocheck was almost dealt away from the Rangers at the 2026 deadline, but was ultimately kept to garner more value around this time. While New York, which boasts nearly $26MM in cap space, doesn\u2019t have to trade him, one should note a few factors listed that would rebut that statement. Trocheck will soon be age 33, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/panarar01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Artemi Panarin<\/a> is not going to help his points production. Based on what other players are commanding in trade value, it would be ideal for the Rangers to move him as soon as possible to get value that can help them in this retool.<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.prohockeyrumors.com\/files\/2026\/03\/USATSI_25757091-scaled.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/USATSI_25757091-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-256175 alignright\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If not a young rostered NHLer, like the Rangers want, they\u2019d have to settle for draft capital and prospects. According to the report, the list of suitors appears to be fading in numbers. Most notably, because of the status of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/larkidy01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dylan Larkin<\/a> sweepstakes. The sooner Larkin is moved, which GM <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteprospects.com\/staff\/101\/steve-yzerman\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Steve Yzerman<\/a> is in no rush to do, the better for the Rangers because Trocheck would then become the top-ranked center available for the taking. It doesn\u2019t appear as though Larkin has opened his destinations outside of Florida, Vegas, and Minnesota. The Wild, in the Trocheck race, aren\u2019t keen on him, considering Larkin remains the top man available.<\/p>\n<p>On July 1, Trocheck\u2019s 12-team no-trade list drops two teams down to 10, according to Puckpedia. The desire to stay east was prominent in these talks, but that doesn\u2019t mean a Western Conference team couldn\u2019t swoop in and win Trocheck over.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019re going by the Rangers\u2019 ideal return from certain teams, are the Ducks willing to swap <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/mctavma01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mason McTavish<\/a> in a trade for Trocheck? If the value doesn\u2019t add up, perhaps the Kings could find a way to partially fill the veteran center role formerly held by legend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kopitan01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Anze Kopitar<\/a> and thus reunite Trocheck with Panarin. Maybe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/wrighsh01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Shane Wright<\/a> could find a fresh start in New York if the Rangers started conversations with the Kraken, as they\u2019ve done so a few times before in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p>Staying east, according to the article, Toronto has inquired about Trocheck\u2019s services and could use another center under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/matthau01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Auston Matthews<\/a>. If not there, the Bruins, who enjoy having their center corps by committee, could pony up a deal to add down the middle, but is it ideal given where they\u2019re at organizationally? The reigning Cup champions also previously had interest. Perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/n\/nikisal01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Alexander Nikishin<\/a> is exactly the young fit on the left side of the blue line that the Rangers could ask for. However, would Carolina want to deal their 24-year-old defenseman for a center group that is already filled out for next season?\u00a0\u00a0Two other Atlantic teams, the Canadiens, who\u2019ve been quiet so far this offseason amid the chaos, could see Trocheck as the secondary middleman to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/suzukni01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nick Suzuki<\/a>, but who of their young core are they willing to deal? Buffalo, who is experiencing a reinvention of itself after dealing away <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/byrambo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bowen Byram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/tuchal01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Alex Tuch<\/a>, could have Trocheck come in to add experience. As for both of those teams, the Rangers would ideally have to settle for picks and prospects in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: Danny Wild-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York continues to look for new players, but the clock appears to be ticking.
