The New York Rangers are looking to shake up their core, and now it appears they're targeting superstar Brady Tkachuk to make it happen.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind in New York, and after reports emerged that captain Jacob Trouba and Chris Kreider were on the chopping block, things have moved fairly quickly since.

On Friday, it was revealed that the team are now aggressively looking to get rid of Trouba, with many believing he has played his last game as a New York Ranger, with the top target in New York now revealed.

«Excising Trouba takes care of one issue but Drury has spent the week in trade talks with multiple clubs with The Post learning that OTT's Brady Tkachuk has become the Rangers' primary target.»

According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, Brady Tkachuk has emerged as the Rangers top trade target after the Senators and Rangers were revealed to be talking about some type of trade on Thursday.

At that point it was unclear who the discussions were about, but with the Rangers desperate to move on from Trouba, it appears they have lofty goals in landing the captain of another team as they move on from their own.

The likes of David Pagnotta have now revealed that Ottawa are seemingly out on Trouba, but that doesn't mean the Rangers will stop pursuing Tkachuk, as it appears they want to change up their top-six in a huge way, with Tkachuk the type of player that could provide the spark they are looking for.

The team reportedly may have to include the likes of Alexis Lafrenière in a deal to make it work:

As of right now, it's unclear if Tkachuk could ever be pried away from Ottawa, but if there's any team out there that could get it done, it's the New York Rangers who appear ready for a Stanley Cup run if they can make the right moves leading into the trade deadline.
