With free agency set to start soon, the New York Rangers are getting prepared for what will be a hectic couple of weeks.
As free agency opens up on July 1st, there will undoubtedly be a flurry of moves made around the league. While this class might not have been the strongest, there will still be ways for the Rangers to improve with who is available.
So far, the offseason has been a good one for New York. In the first round of the NHL Draft, they were able to land Alberts Smits with the fifth overall pick to improve the left side of the defense. However, it was the addition of Pavel Dorofeyev that was really the game-changer.
Acquiring Dorofeyev has shown what the plan for the Rangers going forward is going to be. This is a team that will be looking to add younger talent to grow with over the long term, while helping for next season as well. Considering he is coming off a 37-goal year, Dorofeyev will provide the team with the pure scorer that they have been seeking.
Reportedly, Mavrik Bourque will be heading to the Nashville Predators, making it a potential target for New York coming off the board.
