Jeff Gorton and the New York Rangers front office have their work cut out for them this summer. They need to figure out how to improve their defensive core, as well as replacing whoever will be lost in the expansion draft.
The Rangers front office staff should know that they won’t be able to fix everything through free agency. They are tight on cap space and will need to make some trades in order to build on their roster. Jeff Gorton and company can look to the Atlantic Division teams in order to free up cap space and help improve the foundation of the roster.
