Antoine Roussel-

While not a free agent this off-season, Antoine Roussel represents a perfect fit for the New York Rangers’ fourth line. Roussel brings everything you want a fourth liner to bring to the table. He can agitate with the best of the best, his possession numbers have been consistently strong in the NHL, and he is not a liability offensively.

It would behoove the Rangers to see what the asking price is to acquire Roussel, as the Dallas Stars are likely open for business after a disappointing year.

Not only would Roussel slot perfectly into a fourth line role, but he would also give Alain Vigneault a close enough player to a true enforcer where the coach doesn’t feel the need to dress a player like Glass.
