Bottom six additions add flexibility to Rangers lineup

As the dust settles from the offseason moves, one thing is clear. Chris Drury was on a mission to remake the Rangers bottom six, and he did just that. The Rangers added Barclay Goodrow, Ryan Reaves, Sammy Blais, and Dryden Hunt while subtracting Brett Howden and Colin Blackwell. The Pavel Buchnevich trade also means Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere will be getting top-six minutes, likely along with Vitali Kravtsov.

As of today, the bottom six options appear to be a combination of that quartet above, plus Chris Kreider, Kevin Rooney, Morgan Barron, Filip Chytil, and Julien Gauthier.
