New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck was not traded at the NHL trade deadline, but his $5.625 million cap hit could have been difficult for the Rangers due to his no-trade protection (a 12-team list) and his decision to avoid a team out west could also affect his interest. Trocheck's performance for Team USA at the Olympics has boosted his value as a solid defender and faceoff winner. However, if the Rangers decide to sell him, Trocheck could still be a valuable player. Other potential destinations include the Bruins, the Carolina Hurricanes, and the Penguins, who could use Trocheck for depth in their line-up after Evgeni Malkin's contract expires.
