The New York Rangers have told teams that forward Mats Zuccarello is available, reports Katie Strang of ESPN.

Strang says the team is more likely to trade the Norwegian than re-sign him, which means he could potentially be on the move before Monday's NHL trade deadline, despite the Rangers being in the playoff race.

The 27-year-old Zuccarello is a pending unrestricted free agent who has played his entire NHL career with the Rangers and comes with a cap hit of $3.5 million.

He has 12 goals and 23 assists in 58 games for the Rangers this season.
