FullTilt Forecast: The 2014-15 New York Rangers Roster (Updated)

Anthony Scultore Updated: May 29, 2020

The reshaping of the NY Rangers roster is almost complete. Just about every integral rosters spot has been filled. All that remains in the inevitable re-signing of John Moore.

(Update Below)
Larry Brooks tweeted out that the Rangers have 4 million in cap space available. While that is true, many assume based on Alain Vigneault’s comments, that JT Miller will be given a bigger role. So we gave him a roster spot.

Jesper Fast received reasonable playing time and should also be penciled into the roster. NY will only carry 7 defenseman, and we give Matt Hunwick the nod in that spot.

Which leaves just enough cap space to re-sign Dan Carcillo at a reduced pay rate from last season, if he is willing to accept it.

Here is the lineup as we see it for opening day.

Update: In discussing with NYR beat writer Seth Rothman, he believes the Rangers will not add another player (no Carcillo) to leave cap space for an injury.

@NYR_FullTilt Rangers are not going to get that close to the cap. They'll carry at most 2 extras, and will want to have at least $500K avail
