NHL insider reveals the official asking price the New York Rangers must pay for Jared McCann

Although the New York Rangers have been busy thus far into the offseason, the organization still has a lot to do this offseason.

This is due to the fact that the organization failed to make postseason contention last campaign and are hoping to become bigger contenders next season.

With all that said, a new development has surfaced in the New York Rangers acquiring a forward that can help bring this Original Six organization back into contention.

NHL insider, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, has linked the Rangers to acquiring the Seattle Krakens' Jared McCann.

«With two more years left on his contract, McCann is an attractive add for teams looking to add more scoring punch to their lineup. He has a 10-team no-trade list and has some say in where he winds up, if the Kraken decide to trade him. Teams reportedly linked: Vancouver, Ottawa, NY Rangers,» Pagnotta wrote

McCann has two years left on his five-year, $25M deal with Seattle, at just $5M per season.

This is a reasonable pice for the Rangers to acquire a top-six forward, where McCann would likely become New York's second-line left winger.

Additionally, the Kranen are most likely to miss the playoffs next season, meaning they may opt to move some assets back, including one of the biggest parts of their offense, Jared McCann.

Furthermore, NHL insider, Jeff Marek of the DailyFaceoff, stated that the Kraken are open to trading this forward.
