The NY Rangers hole at RW isn’t a secret. It was such an issue last season until the trade deadline that the Blueshirts went out and acquired two right wingers in Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko, plus a third player that could play both wings in Tyler Motte. All three are free agents, leaving the Rangers RW hole into the coming season as well. With minimal cap space, the Rangers will need to be creative to address this.
