Tomas Hertl may soon be available; the Rangers should proceed with extreme caution

The New York Rangers have plenty of cap space and a need to improve their top six. They’ve long been rumored to want an upgrade at center and have been attached to some big names.

Jack Eichel, Aleksander Barkov, and Evgeny Kuznetsov are names you hear often. Their preference would be to trade for Eichel but if he is indeed having surgery, they will need to wait until December or January to make that deal. Barkov is close to signing a long-term extension with the Panthers, and Kuznetsov may be off the table.

A new name is starting to be raised and it is pending UFA center, Tomas Hertl.
