Rangers’ Offseason Moves Earn A Grade | New York Rangers News

On July 17th, the New York Rangers have been making some serious noises off season and is paying off. After a disappointing finish last year, they've been busy upgrading the squad. Bleacher Report even dropped an A grade on their move so far, which is pretty solid. They kicked things off by snagging Pavel Dorofeyev on Draft Night, which was a smart play. Getting a guy who scored 37 goals last season without giving up their top draft pick, that's a win in my book.
Then they finally moved Vincent Trocheck, sending him to Utah for Cole Beaudoin and Sean Durzi. Beaudoin looks like a promising forward, and Durzi is expected to step right into the second defensive pairing. They also traded Will Borgen to Boston for some draft picks, which made sense with Durzi coming aboard. In free agency, they brought in Oliver Bjorkstrand to boost their middle six and Joe Veleno for the fourth line.
Plus, they traded for Marcus Pettersson to help with puck movement on defense, giving them a stronger second pairing with Durzi. The only move that raised an eyebrow was trading for Junas Korpisalo to fill the goalie spot after Jonathan Quick retired.
It's a bit of a question mark, but overall, most of their moves have been smart. And A-grade seems fair, and we'll see if they have another trick up their sleeve. That wraps New York Rangers News Today. Brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with the story.
