A plan for maximizing the opportunities available in free agency and trade this summer without sacrificing the newly re-built farm system or future cap flexibility. This roster features Jack Hughes picked at #2, so the focus is adding wingers who can support the young/rookie centers.
Please note that all trades away for draft picks are made primarily for cap clearing reasons and not to maximize trade returns. If you think any return is low or high, simply substitute the return you think is more likely. If you think any player will require attaching draft assets in order to dump, feel free to attach them in your mind when reading this roster.
This is not intended as a prediction of what the Rangers will do, but rather as a suggestion of something they could, that I believe would serve the twin goals of continuing to build the future while allowing the kids to develop in a functional, winning environment.
