New York Rangers News & Notes

Chris Drury and the Blue Shirts are in the middle of a mid-season teardown. While this isn’t a typical rebuild, it’s clear that Drury is trying to make wholesale changes to the lineup before things get too out of hand.

The Rangers now have roughly $7.4m in Cap Space to play with.

Dallas Stars News & Notes

Dallas is third in the Central Division and are playing a very defensive game. With the loss of Tyler Seguin and the team’s offensive struggles, could Jim Nill use his cap flexibility to add some scoring depth up front?
