According to Sportsnet NHL source Elliotte Friedman, the Rangers are interested but unwilling to give up Schneider in a hypothetical trade.
“I believe the Rangers are interested, but I’m not sure how easy that match will be,” Friedman told the 32 Thoughts Podcast. “If Vancouver wanted to do Zibanejad, and Zibanejad also has a no-move clause, so he’d have to want to do it, I believe it could be done already. I’m not counting on that.

Zibanejad has a no-trade clause, which he claims helps him stay focused on the ice.
“It’s something we negotiated and earned,” Zibanejad explained. “There is a rationale for provisions like that. That is how it is right now. But I do not think about anything. My attention has always been here. My emphasis has never been on anything else.”
