The New York Rangers have done a lot of work this offseason to change the dynamic of the team. Gerard Gallant has many challenges coming out of the gate. One of them will be balancing his lines.
In a previous article I noted that one of Gallant’s key decisions will be how he handles the overload at left wing. Artemi Panarin, Alexis Lafrenière, and Chris Kreider are on that side, but there’s been some talk of moving either Lafrenière or Kreider to the right.
This is a mistake in my opinion, especially if the Blueshirts want the most balanced roster possible.
