It looks like NY Rangers prospect Adam Sykora may be headed to the WHL, according to Jeff Mark.

Big thanks to Davey Upper, who put this clip on Twitter. Per Marek, with Vince Mercogliano as his guest, the Rangers have push to have Sykora move to the WHL, where his rights are held by Medicine Hat. Supposedly there is a trade ready to have Sykora go to the Saskatoon Blades, who are currently 2nd in the WHL based on point percentage, but third in their division due to games played.
It’s tough to get a read on what this means, other than the Rangers wanting to keep Sykora a little closer to them. To me, it reads that they may want Sykora on an ATO in Hartford once his WHL season ends, if he comes over.
Since Sykora is not a CHL draftee, he is not bound by the same rule that kept Brennan Othmann out of Hartford. There’s certainly a chance the Rangers want him to get acclimated to North American hockey so he can play in the AHL next season.
