Report: Rangers have checked in on Leafs enforcer Matt Martin

Could Matt Martin be headed back to New York?

According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the Rangers have inquired about the availability of the Toronto Maple Leafs agitator.

The report comes a day after Brooks revealed that Martin is in demand on the trade market.

A move to New York would mark a homecoming of sorts for Martin, who spent seven seasons with the rival Islanders prior to signing with the Maple Leafs in 2016.

He's under contract for two more seasons at a $2.5-million cap hit. However, he's owed just $750,000 in salary this season after a lucrative signing bonus was paid out July 1.
