Zibanejad Has Spoken to New Rangers Coach. Although Zibanejad’s name has come up in trade talks, it appears he’s focused on playing in New York last season.

Yesterday, the New York Rangers made headlines as they were reportedly closing in on a trade with the Anaheim Ducks, parting ways with veteran and career Ranger Chris Kreider.
