Insider Unveils Surprising Trade Offer from Rangers for Young Star
Rangers’ Trade Deadline Offer for Sabres’ JJ Peterka Revealed

The New York Rangers were aggressive at the 2025 NHL trade deadline, looking to add a young star to their roster. Now, details have emerged about their attempt to land Buffalo Sabres winger JJ Peterka.
According to Frank Seravalli, the Rangers made a strong push for Peterka, offering a package that included a first-round pick and a roster player. However, Buffalo rejected the deal, determining it wasn’t enough to part with their rising star.
Peterka, 23, has become one of Buffalo’s most promising forwards. This season, he has tallied 19 goals and 51 points in 61 games, solidifying himself as a key offensive piece. The former second-round pick took time to develop but has blossomed into a dynamic scoring threat. Across 222 career NHL games, he has amassed 59 goals and 133 points.
The Sabres’ decision to hold onto Peterka makes sense given the high prices set at the deadline. With the team struggling to break through in the Eastern Conference, his name will likely continue to surface in trade discussions.
Peterka is set to become a restricted free agent this summer, putting Buffalo in a critical position regarding his long-term future. If extension talks stall, expect the Rangers—and other contenders—to revisit their pursuit of the talented winger.
