Continuing the midterm grades for the Rangers, we are going to tackle the bottom-six forwards. Since David Quinn likes to rotate his lines a lot, and since the Rangers have had a bunch of injuries that have skewed the ice time, I’m going to use best judgment on what is considered a bottom-six forward.
Thirteen forwards have played at least 200 minutes for the Rangers thus far, and I’m going to use that as the cutoff. In doing so, players like Matt Beleskey, Ryan Spooner, Vinni Lettieri, and Boo Nieves don’t make the cut.
