Speculation regarding Mika Zibanejad's future with the New York Rangers may be premature according to his wife, Irma Zibanejad. In a recent interview, she mentioned that the couple has welcomed their new coach Mike Sullivan into their home, and secured a new residence in New York City. This comes amid rumors of a potential trade, especially after the Rangers recently traded Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks. Irma expressed disbelief at the media's reporting, insisting that many articles lack truth and context.

The couple's $13 million sale of their townhouse briefly fueled speculation that Zibanejad might be exiting New York. However, the recent home purchase and Sullivan's visit suggest the opposite. Reports indicate Zibanejad might reconsider his no-move clause, which, combined with his solid performance last season (58 points in 80 games), makes him a valuable asset for the Rangers.
