At the end of May, it’s obviously the end of the NHL playoffs, but it’s also a good time to discuss trade rumors.

Last Monday, my colleague Marc-Olivier Cook wrote an article on the NHL rumours of the moment.

Now, on May 28, there are a number of other rumours about players who could be changing addresses in the near future, and we’re going to take a look at them together.

New York Rangers want to test the market for K’Andre Miller

Top-4 defensemen are often in demand across the NHL.

Left-handed defensemen are a little less in demand than right-handed ones, but some teams may want to improve the left flank of their defensive brigade.

As for the Rangers, we know they’ve had a miserable year, and there have to be changes to the line-up, otherwise we can expect another disappointing season.

In fact, they want to test the transaction market with their big left-handed defenseman K’Andre Miller.

Elliotte Friedman talked about this in his most recent 32 Thoughts Podcast.

At 6 feet 5 inches, Miller is one of the NHL’s good defensive AND physical defensemen, and that’s worth its weight in gold. He’s often been paired with Adam Fox to provide defensive stability, and he’s had his share of success.

However, he may have to pursue his career elsewhere.

Penguins, Sabres, Blackhawks and Flyers interested in Marco Rossi

Marco Rossi is a 5’9″ center who blossomed this season with the Minnesota Wild.

After Joel Eriksson Ek’s injury, Rossi got his chance to shine, playing center for Kirill Kaprizov.

And let’s just say he impressed. So much so, in fact, that he remained on the first line, even though Eriksson Ek had returned to the game.

Last year, the 23-year-old Austrian amassed 40 points, but this season he’s racked up 60, including 24 goals.

He’s been in the rumor mill lately, but no team seemed more interested than another.

According to Jimmy Murphy of RG Media, there are four teams showing more interest in the young center: Flyers, Sabres, Penguins and Blackhawks.

The Flyers are in desperate need of a top-notch center, and Rossi is definitely an interesting option.

Tatcher Demko could be traded in the off-season

Demko had a slightly more disappointing season than last year, but he remains one of the NHL’s top goaltenders.

The Canucks were six points out of the final playoff spot in the West with a total of 90 points.

According to Frank Seravalli, Demko could change addresses this summer, and the Flyers seem a perfect fit for the San Diego native.

As we all know, the goalkeeping situation in Philadelphia has been precarious for some time. The city has been seen as a keeper graveyard for too long, and Demko could come in and fill that need to bring the club to another level.


Overtime

– Suzuki is perfect as Habs captain: the pressure is 10 feet over his head.

– Read on.

– Can’t wait to see what happens. Will we get a beating from the Americans?

– Chelsea as dominant as ever.
