The NY Rangers have made a significant effort to turn over their roster this offseason. The goal is to retool on the fly, while also giving Mike Sullivan the pieces he needs to take the club back to the postseason.
Despite the moves, the club has a major need, and it's an obvious one. The NY Rangers lack a true superstar that can elevate the team from mediocrity to true playoff contender status.
The Pavel Dorofeyev trade, while a solid move, isn't the solution the organization needs. While Dorofeyev is a great player, he isn't the type of superstar the team needs. Yes, there's a chance that the Russian winger could become the star that Artemi Panarin once was.
But that's not something the NY Rangers should be banking on.
The calculus behind Chris Drury's moves ahead of the 2025-26 season intended to position the team to land a major star free agent. However, none of the massive stars the Blueshirts would have wanted ever hit the market.
