The New York Rangers are uniquely positioned to add to their roster this offseason as they have a projected $19 million in cap space per CapFriendly. They also have the second overall pick, which places them in a prime position to land one of Jack Hughes or Kappo Kakko.
The team does have some strong defensive players with prospects K’Andre Miller and the recently acquired Adam Fox joining Brady Skjei and Tony DeAngelo on the blue line. However, adding another defenseman would be very beneficial for the team’s next step.
