With the 2023-24 season right around the corner, the New York Rangers are in the midst of preparing their roster for opening night. This year’s training camp and pre-season will be more important than ever, as the Rangers have two massive holes in their lineup that need to be filled.
Vladimir Tarasenko has signed with Ottawa and Patrick Kane has shown no sign of returning anytime soon, so both top-six right wing positions remain void. There’s a likely chance that Kaapo Kakko will fill in on the first line, but things should get interesting as the Rangers try creative ways to fill that second spot.
