During a live web chat at Puck Daddy today, when asked if the Rangers will Trade Petr Prucha, Lyle "Spector" Richardson of Fox Sports and The Hockey News said that Prucha's name was out there but there were no serious discussions....this isn't groundbreaking as most people figured the Rangers weren't done and Prucha seems to be the most likely candidate to be moved.
...Prucha's situation is hard to explain. I've seen the argument on both sides. Some say it's Renney's fault for not playing him enough especially on the power play, while others say Renney wasn't playing him because he wasn't producing. I'm of the opinion that Prucha wasn't given a proper chance to redeem himself. Despite being only one year removed from his 30 goal (16 on the power play) rookie season (his second season wasn't that bad either as he scored 22 goals) Renney refused to insert Prucha on the struggling power play or give him a regular shift on the fourth line. Now I'm not saying Prucha was going to regain the scoring touch of his rookie year, but I don't think he was given a fair opportunity.
...to me Prucha's now lost confidence in himself and probably needs a change of scenery.
