Predicting the NY Rangers’ 28-man roster for the playoffs

One of the more interesting aspects of the 24-team playoff is that teams are likely going to be allowed to carry more than the usual 23-man rosters. This gives a teams more injury coverage and much more flexibility throughout the playoff run.

As of today, the Rangers have 21 players at the NHL level, one on IR (Micheal Haley), and one pending a suspension (Brendan Lemieux). That leaves six roster spots open for players. My guess is this would be very similar to a taxi squad that we usually see during the playoffs. But at least we do know how some of this is going to play out.
