However, he went on to say that the 22-year-old winger has stated that he still wants to play in North America next season, and that a trade would help him achieve that goal.
He has six goals, seven assists, and a plus-4 rating in 19 games.
His trade worth is rising as he develops in the KHL. He must stay in the KHL until the season ends, but he can return the following year.
See if the Rangers can trade him for a big-name talent. If they make a big splash, he'll be a key player going the other way.
Any team would be blessed...yes I said it blessed to get this guy on their line up next season.
