Trading MZA?

The Rangers and Mats Zuccarello are said to be far apart on a new deal.   Though they don't HAVE to get it done now, this is following a familiar script.  Last year the Rangers were less than 1M apart from Captain Cally, and they ended up trading him.  I think there's a pretty good chance that happens again with MZA.  Even if the cap goes up, it will be hard for the Rangers to extend guys like Stepan and Kreider if they give big extensions to MZA and MSL.
