As the NHL season progresses, NHL trade rumors intensify, with several teams considering significant roster adjustments. On November 30, 2024, notable discussions emerged involving the New York Rangers, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Vancouver Canucks.
New York Rangers Contemplate Core Overhaul
The New York Rangers are reportedly evaluating substantial changes to their roster following a series of underwhelming performances. General Manager Chris Drury has indicated that key veterans, including captain Jacob Trouba and forward Chris Kreider, are available for trade. This move aims to address internal disconnects and rejuvenate the team’s dynamics. Trouba, who has a 15-team no-trade list, has experienced a decline in physical play, leading to speculation about his future with the team. Kreider, dealing with back spasms, has downplayed trade rumors but acknowledges the team’s current frustrations.
Columbus Blue Jackets’ David Jiricek Attracts Interest
Defenseman David Jiricek of the Columbus Blue Jackets is reportedly close to being traded, with the Toronto Maple Leafs emerging as a potential destination. The proposed deal could involve the Maple Leafs sending prospects Easton Cowan and Topi Niemela to Columbus in exchange for Jiricek and forward prospect Gavin Brindley. This potential trade reflects Toronto’s intent to bolster their defensive lineup.
