Why Taylor Raddysh is 3rd-line anchor ahead of 1st season with Rangers

The New York Rangers head to training camp next month with plenty of questions and not a lot of answers about the makeup of their third line. Perhaps the closest the Rangers have to a sure thing on that line is newcomer Taylor Raddysh.

The 27-year-old signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the Rangers on July 1. His signing flew under the radar because the Rangers made a far bigger splash in free agency that day, signing defenseman Vladisalv Gavrikov to a seven-year, $49 million deal.

Yet, here we are on the eve of training camp, and Raddysh feels like the anchor of an unsteady third line.
