Trade discussions are swirling around JJ Peterka of the Buffalo Sabres, with the New York Rangers reportedly scouting him. Peterka, only 23, is emerging as a point-per-game player, making him a desirable asset for the Rangers.

However, conflicting reports suggest the Rangers are not pursuing him actively. If they were, a significant deal involving Chris Kreider or Mika Zibanejad could be in play. Such a move seems unlikely for Buffalo, which raises questions about the viability of a potential trade without substantial value going back to the Sabres.
