The NHL's holiday trade freeze is nearing, raising speculation about the New York Rangers' roster moves. After trading captain Jacob Trouba, the team has struggled, winning only twice in six games and slipping from playoff contention.

Reports indicate the Rangers are open to trading players like Chris Kreider, while coaching changes remain a topic of discussion. Despite interest in younger players like Kaapo Kakko, the Rangers face challenges in improving their performance, suggesting that internal solutions may be necessary.
