«This is still very real and they are still making phone calls, there are still teams in the mix, we are still hearing names. It hasn't stopped.»
While it seems that two teams have moved off of the original trade proposals Friedman hasn't detailed whether the team's have stopped talking altogether.
The Rangers could ultimately benefit from convincing J.T. Miller to return to Madison Square Garden.
Miller reportedly prefers to be traded to the East coast according to Friedman. However, there are conflicting reports on whether or not Miller specifically requested a trade.
He's a former 100+ point forward and has playoff experience with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Vancouver Canucks.
He could provide a spark to the Rangers lineup that key players haven't been able to as of late.
