For the past six seasons, Jesper Fast has done everything asked of him and more. He’s smart, quick, aggressive, plays a two-way game, and can score. If the New York Rangers are committed to rebuilding, they might need to look at potential suitors for the Swedish native.
It’s a conversation not many Rangers fans want to have, but it’s one that needs to be brought up. Through his tenure as a New York Ranger, Fast has become the Rangers most dependable player. Whether he’s playing a shutdown role on the third line or contributing on the stat sheet on the top unit, the Swedish native is the definition of a versatile player.
