The New York Rangers are about to engage in a dangerous game, with discussions intensifying over the potential acquisition of Sam Reinhart from the Florida Panthers. Sources close to the team have reported that negotiations are picking up pace, but they come with inherent risks—Reinhart’s style of play involves sudden, unpredictable movements that could disrupt the Rangers’ already struggling defensive strategies.
