The New York Rangers are 7-3-1, but recent scoring droughts and Pavel Dorofeyev's slump highlight the need for depth. We explore why Chris Drury should pursue unsigned free agent Vladimir Tarasenko on a cheap deal.
Justin Bonhard of Blue Line Station argues that the New York Rangers should consider reuniting with unsigned free-agent forward Vladimir Tarasenko to address offensive depth concerns. Despite a recent 5-2 victory over Anaheim improving the team's record to 7-3-1, Bonhard contends that the offense remains inconsistent and could benefit from an experienced, low-cost external goal-scorer.
The writer notes that Tarasenko, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, remains unsigned after recently firing his agent. Bonhard suggests Tarasenko would serve as an upgrade over bottom-six options like Taylor Raddysh or Matt Rempe, offering low-risk offensive insurance against potential injuries.
