The Rangers offseason is in overdrive and we haven’t even gotten out of May yet! The draft isn’t for over a month and NHL free agency starts July 1st. Yet there is no shortage of news, rumors and speculation from everyone.
Beat writers like Larry Brooks, NHL insiders like Elliotte Friedman, bloggers like yours truly, to fans in every recess of the internet have been nonstop on the Blueshirts Blitz. Since “winning” the draft lottery, Sather’s pending retirement, and the buzz in the rumor mill, this has been a very busy month plus.
One topic that keeps coming up is the fact that if the Rangers really want to make some free agent noise they will need to make just a little more cap space via trades and/or buyout.
