I just came across this article dated today.
According to Rangers reporter Rick Carpiniello the Rangers are open to moving a key piece out in the deal:
"Just tossing this out there as I head for some vacation time ... DO NOT be surprised if Mika Zibanejad is in the deal that ultimately brings Jack Eichel to #NYR"
