Don’t expect trades to free up Rangers roster spots, even if kids impress

It happens every preseason. One kid starts to impress, and the conversation shifts to making room for the kid on the roster. Then the kid is sent to the AHL, and the conversation shifts again to heated debates about why the Rangers messed up and/or why it was the right move. This year is no different, as Brennan Othmann and Will Cuylle are getting attention.

With few Rangers roster spots available, there is natural conversation to making room on the roster.

Playing out the hypothetical situation where the Rangers break camp with both Othmann and Cuylle, which is highly unlikely, how would the Rangers even make room?
