Nashville's general manager Barry Trotz has been making statements recently of change that will come to his roster and may be willing to part ways with some players.
It's clear that Drury looking for bottom 6 help as the Rangers need secondary scoring and improved penalty killing.
Players mentioned like Tommy Novak,
Gustav Nyquist and Jeremy Lauzon certainly fit that description and could be a low-cost option for the Rangers.
Trotz seems to be on a retool of his team as he holds nine draft picks through the first 4 rounds this season.
Nyquist holds the most money at 3.18 million with one season remaining on his deal. Lauzon has 4 million left over two years and Novak is in the final year of his deal at 800K.
Certainly, players with term would help the Rangers as they would no cost certainty and would have retention on there talent.
It remains to be seen whether a trade can happen, but with the Rangers scouring across the league and their focus is on Nashville, it's certainly possible something can happen.
