Rangers Stabilize Glaring Issue with Prudent Trade for Kraken's Alex Wennberg

The New York Rangers have their best chance to win a Stanley Cup since the 2014-15 season in which they fell to Tampa Bay in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final. But the most glaring obstacle was the injury of young center Filip Chytil. The young Czech ensured the Rangers were throwing out a top center in either him, Mika Zibanejad, or Vincent Trocheck most shifts.

The Rangers remain first in the Metropolitan Division but the rest of the team has had to do heavy lifting to compensate for some major problems in the bottom six.

Alex Wennberg is the attempt to finally plug the hole, and it's a good attempt.
