New York Rangers need to bolster fourth line before trade deadline

The New York Rangers and Patrick Kane speculation will not end until one of the following three things take place:

  • Kane decides not to waive his full no-move clause this week
  • Kane is traded elsewhere
  • Rangers use limited cap space to bolster fourth-line via trade

Yes, the Rangers can technically improve their fourth-line by trading for Kane which will move Jimmy Vesey off the second line. However, as the fourth line is currently constructed with Barclay Goodrow paired with Jake Leschyshyn and Julien Gauthier, it needs serious work.
