In part two of our three part series with Rangers beat reporters, we asked them how they feel the RFA situation will play out for Tony DeAngelo, Ryan Strome, and Brendan Lemieux. Here are their thoughts.

Some of the thinking may depend on what transition rules come out of the next offseason as the league tries to figure out how it can make up for lost revenue in ’19-20 (well, not make up the revenue, but you know what I mean). But assuming the rules they’re working with, and the salary cap, etc., are relatively similar to what we currently know them to be, then I don’t see Lemieux or Strome signing long term.
