The NHL Entry Draft has come and gone, but that leaves the Rangers nowhere close to being ready for October. The Rangers drafted some exciting young prospects, like Russian winger Vitali Kravtsov and big defenseman K’Andre Miller from the USNTDP, but the question marks regarding the rest of the Rangers off-season are still in play.
As we approach the July 1st commencement of the free agency period, trade talks will begin to pick up and we will see quite a few players find new homes. Two of these players are Rangers’ restricted free agents Ryan Spooner and Vladislav Namestnikov.
