Speed. Grit. Goals. The essence of hockey. The new guy Blake Wheeler should play alongside the “Italian Stallion” Vincent Trocheck and the heart of the city Chris Kreider.
Add the 6’5 behemoth into the fray of this lineup to tag team with the meanest foreword in the lineup and the center the Rangers signed over Andrew Copp because of his sharp edge and play in the muddy areas of the ice.
Kreider and Trocheck skated in 23 games this season with Kaapo Kakko on the wing, 14 with Patrick Kane, and 17 with Jimmy Vesey producing 14 goals for the team.
