The New York Rangers regular season is set to begin on October 7th at Madison Square Garden, as they will face off against the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, with that being said the Rangers have reportedly added their fan favourite enforcer Matt Rempe as a potential trade chip.
Drury and Mike Sullivan will have to find the most optimal lineup for the Rangers, in just 15 days and that means moving on from some players, as the veteran core remains stable. The team brought in plenty of depth to bolster the lineup and enough to trade should they choose to do so.
As Mike Sullivan learns the lineup, the team will look to continue to develop a winning lineup, in order to return to their former glory of their Presidents' Trophy era in 2023-24.
