The New York Rangers have become an older and more experienced team this offseason. Having a strong veteran presence is essential to finding success late in the season, but teams must also be careful to ensure their players are not too old to consistently contribute on the ice. One player who was key to the Rangers’ success last year was Vincent Trocheck. After a stellar first season with the Blueshirts, however, there may be somewhat of a regression in 2023.

Projected to start the 2023-2024 season on the second line, Trocheck will likely be centering Artemi Panarin and Blake Wheeler.
