New York Rangers: Top five players that could be 2018 All-Stars

The changes to the New York Rangers roster this offseason gives many players on the roster a higher chance of being a 2018 All-Star selection.

Like all All-Star games across all sports, it is not so much a means to get players together in order to simulate actual play, but to show off their skill. Despite this, it is a way to honor players for their hard work throughout the season.

The players that the league select from season-to-season tend to be performing at a very high level. Often, these players are playing some of the best hockey of their careers.

When it comes to the Rangers, the support they received on the defensive end in the offseason will impact both the offense and the defense. With some players seeing increased opportunities, to others having bolstered support, there is a good chance that the Rangers could potentially have more than one player attending the event this season.

Here are some of the top candidates on the New York Rangers roster.
