With minimal cap space and the roster mostly set, it looks like Chris Drury’s offseason is mostly complete. There are a few loose ends, like locking up K’Andre Miller and Alexis Lafreniere, but for all intents and purposes Drury is done. So we can start looking at the Rangers projected lines to start next season, albeit with some pretty big assumptions and if/then statements to really round things out.
One of the important “new school” trains of thought is that we should be looking at the lines in terms of a top six, a third scoring line, and a shutdown line.
