The New York Rangers have just three wins in 11 games this season. If a roster shakeup is in order, there are a few players who are simply out of the question.
The Rangers, to put it bluntly, are lacking the depth that teams of the past few years had. Specifically, the team has been running 11 forwards and seven defenseman lineup to try and cover this deficiency. However, it simply hasn’t been enough and a trade may be necessary to save the 2017-2018 season.
Now, when it comes to trades nobody is totally untouchable. If Wayne Gretzky can be traded, anybody can. If the Rangers receive an offer that totally blows them away for anyone in the organization, it’d be crazy not to take it.
For as poorly as the Rangers have played, the organization has considerable talent both at the NHL level and in the pipeline. They have several assets that have the potential to be truly special at the NHL level.
