The New York Rangers agreed to a blockbuster trade back in 2012 that sent Brandon Dubinsky to the Columbus Blue Jackets and brought Rick Nash to New York.

Brandon Dubinsky started his career with the Rangers, being selected in the second round (60th overall) in the 2004 Entry Draft. He played his first games in the NHL with the Rangers in the 2006-07 season and would go on to play the next five full seasons on Broadway.

In his time in New York, Dubinsky became a fan favorite, playing 387 games with the team and registering 213 points (81 goals, 132 assists). He was a staple on the roster — a responsible, reliable centerman who made an impact on the ice and on the players around him.

With changes in Columbus and Dubinsky starting off slow in the 2017-18 season, this might be the time to consider bringing back a familiar face. With the Rangers struggling to find a solution to their limited options when it comes to centers, we explore whether Dubinsky could still be a fit on the roster.
