In a tweet in French, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports in Montreal noted that Michael Del Zotto will be a scratch tomorrow but that he could leave the Rangers via a transaction in the future.
He notes that Del Zotto’s name has been circulating around the NHL.
When Lavoie sent out an English version of the tweet, he wrote “Michael Del Zotto will be a healthy scratch Saturday in MTL. Don’t know if his future is in NY. Hearing trade is a possibility.”
It was reported last week that Del Zotto could be had in a trade but the Rangers would require a defenseman who could play the same kind of minutes.
It was reported earlier in the month that Del Zotto was a name being tossed around as the Rangers looked for help.
Del Zotto is an RFA at the end of the season.

As Ranger fans, we can't say we didn't see this coming. I still think it's too early to give up on DZ, but in the package top a top 6 winger, it may have to be done. Can't believe he will be scratched tomorrow night.
