The general consensus around the league is that the New York Rangers are clear trade deadline winners.
I mean, it doesn’t take an expert to figure out that adding forwards Patrick Kane, Vladimir Tarasenko, Tyler Motte, and defenseman Niko Mikkola without trading away a significant roster player or prospect should give you an advantage.
However, the team has struggled to find chemistry since these trades have happened. Here’s how they’ve fared to date:
- 6-5-1 after acquiring Tarasenko and Mikkola
- 2-4-0 after adding Motte (missed last game due to injury)
- 0-2-0 since Kane joined the lineup
