Everyone in hockey knows that the New York Rangers need help given their current salary cap situation. Major young pieces such as Alexis Lafreniere and K’Andre Miller will be in need of new contracts. Pieces like Patrick Kane, Vladimir Tarasenko, Niko Mikkola, Tyler Motte, and Jaroslav Halak are all unrestricted free agents too so it is a difficult time for the Blueshirts. They need to be smart with how they manage their money.
The most popular way among fans to make this money is to move on from bottom-six forward and two-time Stanley Cup champion Barclay Goodrow. This has recently come to light that people within the Athletic expect Goodrow to be one of the names linked with a move away from New York to clear cap space to lock up this young core for the future.
