The general blueprint of a rebuild should be to add as much young talent as possible, then worry about addressing needs later. Still, the two areas where the Rangers would benefit most from addressing are their lack of skilled wingers and their lack of right-handed forward shots.
On wing, the Rangers’ long-term options include Pavel Buchnevich, who is still trying to hit his stride, and 2018 first-round Vitali Kravtsov. Beyond those two, the Rangers players with realistic upside as bonafide top-six NHL wingers. As for right-handed shots, Mika Zibanejad is one, and a quality example at that.
