Chris Drury has kind of woken up everyone in the New York Rangers world after reports surfaced that he was looking to make moves to revive the team.
In the wake of their 6-2 loss in Edmonton on Saturday, the Rangers made it clear they wanted to make moves and shake up their roster.
Names listed include Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba, although other options will be considered.

There is now a lot of outside noise regarding the Rangers, but Peter Laviolette tried to downplay the situation when asked about all the trade speculation.
“These things are out of our control, this is not in our control,” Laviolette said. “What is in our control is to play a better game, to know how we react today and how we will react tomorrow.”
The Rangers are currently on a three-game losing streak and the team really hasn’t been playing their best hockey lately.
This same sentiment of keeping distractions out of the locker room was echoed by Braden Schneider.
“Right now it’s just outside noise,” Schneider said. “We’re just trying to stay here and focus on getting two points.”
Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba are the two players specifically identified among the players the Rangers could potentially trade although Drury is also exploring other options.
