This off-season has been quite busy for the New York Rangers. The team has welcomed many new faces, but also has had to say goodbye to numerous recent mainstays.
Two of those players, Derek Stepan and Oscar Lindberg were the Rangers’ top and fourth line centers respectively. Currently, Mika Zibanejad and Kevin Hayes are expected to reprise their roles as top-nine centers next season.
However, in order for the New York Rangers to truly be Stanley Cup Contenders for the 2017-18 season, they must acquire another center.
An Internal Solution?
The Rangers may decide to replenish their center depth by using their current players.
