Summary
Mika Zibanejad’s no-movement clause and clear desire to stay with the Rangers make any trade a near impossibility — and even if it weren’t, the team stands to gain little. Still a vital force, he handles tough minutes, scores points, and mentors young stars like Lafreniere and Perreault, proving indispensable as the Rangers transition to a younger core without full rebuild. His role remained steady even amid roster shifts, and while a full rebuild might change the calculus, for now, trading him would create more headaches than help — his presence is central to their current strategy.
