Red Wings Rangers Trade Rumors Intensify

The New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings are facing tough decisions as the March 7 trade deadline approaches, with both teams looking to shake things up after falling short of expectations.

The Rangers, in particular, seem ready to continue their roster overhaul. They’ve already sent captain Jacob Trouba to Anaheim and Kaapo Kakko to Seattle, but they might not be done yet.

Now defenseman Ryan Lindgren could be the next player headed out of New York.

The Detroit Red Wings might be interested in Lindgren as they try to strengthen their defense and make a playoff push under new head coach Todd McLellan. But there are questions about whether he’s worth the investment.

"I wonder about Detroit. Is he that big of an upgrade, though?" says Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff. "And I don’t know how big the Red Wings are gonna spend."

It’s a tough spot for both teams. The Rangers are clearly in selling mode, with GM Chris Drury looking to reshape the roster. Meanwhile, Detroit needs help on defense but has to be careful about overpaying.

These are two proud franchises that started the season with high hopes. Now they’re both scrambling to figure out their next moves before time runs out.

The trade deadline is just weeks away, and fans in both cities are wondering if their teams can turn things around – whether through trades or other changes.
