Ross Colton
Alex Turcotte

Mavrik Bourque
Marco Kasper
Kent Johnson
Evan Rodrigues
Jack Drury
The Fan Hockey Show (June 16): Mike Futa said Carolina needed to include Pyotr Kochetkov in the trade to acquire Vincent Trocheck from the Rangers and that’s why it didn’t go through. #Canes#NYR
Ross Colton, acquired by NSH, is a fast shoot-first two-way forward who's played centre in the past. Saw a big drop in ice time and production for the Avs this season and also shot only 5.9% compared to his previous COL average of 12.4%. Solid reclamation bet.
@Irishfan791@Laf4MVP_ Agree and I would, but my point is I don’t think drury wants to miss the playoffs 3 years in a row. Especially not with the Knicks winning it all
Rangers are arguably one of the slowest teams in the league, it’s very important they come out of this off-season with 3-4 fast forwards. Not only will they become a much better hockey team, it’d help elevate the current Rangers
EX:
- McMann
- Colton
- Samoskevich
- Malenstyn
@CuylleFC I do think NYR could be a playoff team with how weak the metro is
I also think if you get 2-3 players on this list they can help elevate the current Rangers. These are legit NHLers, NYR played with half an AHL squad

Rangers desperately need speed
