Rangers Rumors: Team Interested In Two Key Ducks Forwards

The New York Rangers have emerged as serious contenders in the pursuit of two prominent forwards from the Anaheim Ducks, Frank Vatrano and Adam Henrique.

Vatrano, fresh from his first NHL All-Star Game appearance, has caught the Rangers' attention with his 22-goal performance, leading the Ducks in scoring.

The Rangers see Vatrano as a potential solution to their ongoing quest for a reliable right-winger to complement the dynamic duo of Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad.

With one year left on his contract at a reasonable $3.65 million AAV, Vatrano presents an attractive option to reinforce the Rangers' offensive firepower.

On the other hand, Adam Henrique, despite approaching 34 years of age, brings a wealth of experience and versatility to the table.

His ability to seamlessly transition between center and left-wing, coupled with his proficiency in the faceoff circle, makes him a valuable target for the Rangers.

Henrique's strong desire to compete in the postseason aligns perfectly with the Rangers' "win-now" mentality, offering potential stability to a lineup currently missing Filip Chytil due to injury.
