Once again the Rangers and Wild are once again rumored to be in trade discussions as it's been reported that Minnesota is interested in Rangers winger Rick Nash. Last week the rumors revolved around the Wild pursuing Rangers center Derek Stepan. With the Rangers rumored to be taking offers on almost any player it should be an interesting Summer in New York City.
The New York Post reports that the Rangers are extremely unlikely to pursue a trade involving the St Louis Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirkthis off season. With one year left on Shattenkirk's contract at $4.25 million it's expected that he will be asking in upwards to $6.5 million per season come next July 1 and the Rangers are not looking to add another long term highly paid D-Man.
