FOR SALE SIGNS

THERE is no ambivalence within management. The Blueshirts, we’re told on good authority, view the Feb. 26 trade deadline as a unique opportunity to refresh the roster and replenish the organization, regardless of where the club stands in relation to a playoff spot.

The mandate, approved (if not established) in the owner’s suite by Jim Dolan, is to build a Stanley Cup winner rather than to simply extend a seven-year playoff streak that is in jeopardy.

The objective is to add young NHL or NHL-ready players every bit as much as garnering additional selections in upcoming entry drafts. Teams in the market for rentals generally own picks in the overall 24-to-31 range.

You can get a good player toward the bottom of the first round, but generally not a franchise guy even if the Bruins’ David Pastrnak (25th in 2014) might prove a notable exception to the rule. The Rangers are neither plotting nor anticipating a deep dive to the league’s nether regions from which it can take years to escape.

The Blueshirts should be able to cash in on Rick Nash, the most attractive rental property on the market. He is the perfect fit for a team seeking to fortify its top six and that wouldn’t need him to be a first, or even second, goal-scoring option up front. Dallas, St. Louis and San Jose would appear good matches. Perhaps even Tampa Bay, with Ondrej Palat out for up to a couple of months. All have the ingredients to work a deal for Nash, who is believed to have submitted his trade-approval list over the summer.

This, too, on Nash, for whom the return based on historical norms should be a legit youngster plus a first-rounder: The Blueshirts can assume up to 50 percent of his fullseason, $7.8 million cap hit.

Flipping Michael Grabner — who could be signed as a free agent over the summer if the stars align — could bring back a first-rounder or a young roster player. Nick Holden might be worth a third or a fourth rounder in a league where contenders have no choice other than to bulk up on the blue line. David Desharnais should be able to bring back a fourth or fifth.
