With the New York Rangers desperately in need of another center, could defenseman Nick Holden be in danger of movement?
With the New York Rangers now done with all contract issues, they can now start to look at possible trade options to get a center. Jim Parsons of The Hockey Writers believes the Rangers will trade defenseman Nick Holden to get this done.
