While it’s expected Mika Zibanejad, Kevin Hayes and J.T. Miller will step up down the middle, the New York Rangers will still be in the market for another center. Once a strength, the Rangers depth at center is now a concern.
With the free agent market also thin, the Rangers need to look at the trade market. At just 25 years old, Ryan Spooner makes perfect sense.
Background
Spooner was drafted by the Bruins in the second round, 45th overall, in the 2010 NHL entry draft. He was called up for the first time in the 2012-2013 season but didn’t break out until the 2015-2016 season, his first full season in the NHL.
