The New York Rangers are making noise this offseason. They have the second overall pick, signed Vitali Kravtsov and Igor Shestyorkin to entry-level contracts, and just acquired Adam Fox from the Carolina Hurricanes. Things are looking up in this rebuild.
The Blueshirts are adding a lot of depth and youth to their roster. A couple of weeks ago I stressed that the Rangers need to balance their roster, explaining how the offense improving should not distract from the need for defense. With the acquisition of Fox, it sure looks Rangers GM Jeff Gorton seems to agree.
