Despite the New York Rangers having a very good start to their season, the team has suddenly fallen apart and they have now held an emergency meeting. Shocking reports emerged from Insider Elliotte Friedman earlier this week that <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/new-york-rangers/elliotte-friedman-shocks-hockey-world-by-stating-50-goal-scorer-has-been-placed-on-trade-block-by-rangers' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the New York Rangers were trying to trade Chris</a> Kreider and Jacob Trouba. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nypostsports/status/1861560097949851693'> </a></blockquote></div> At 12-7-1, plenty of surprises cropped up into the latest developments, and speculation is it was leaked to keep veterans on their toes to avoid complacency. In fact, according to 'The Athletic' reporter Arthur Staple, general manager Chris Drury has spoken to Chris Kreider, and Jacob Trouba among other senior players to discuss the situation and rally the group since this surprising revelation came to light. «A Rangers source said Drury did meet with Trouba later in the day Tuesday, as well as Kreider and other veterans, before the team flew to Raleigh. The source characterized the meetings as «honest, productive conversations.» <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/StapeAthletic/status/1861562980707578268'> </a></blockquote></div> Sources said the meeting was productive, and that alone doesn't kill any of the potential trade rumblings, but it gives an indication as to how the organization is handling the players at the center of the speculation. This is a pretty talented core, despite the rumblings of lineup changes due to the lack of elite-level success. Regarding Trouba's underwhelming production, there have been enough rumors that both players may still be considered on the trading block. That said, for the immediate moment, the move keeps everything in line and oriented. If this team doesn't take off on some kind of dominant tear, the front office will really need to start thinking about <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/toronto-maple-leafs-linked-to-70-plus-point-center-from-the-new-york-rangers-to-fill-out-their-second-line' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>trading at least one of its franchise cornerstones</a>.
