The New York Rangers have made no secret of wanting to turn defenseman Braden Schneider into forward help, and one idea that's been surfacing among fans is a swap involving Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright. But according to The Athletic's Vincent Z. Mercogliano , the fit isn't really there. Asked in his offseason mailbag whether a Schneider-for-Wright deal made sense, Mercogliano was skeptical. "I don't think it's a crazy concept, but there are pretty clear hurdles," Mercogliano wrote. "...

That gave Chicago the three-games-to-one win in the series. The MVP of the […]
