Rangers Roundup: Independence Day Mailbag

Anthony Scultore Updated: Jul 3, 2019

Happy Independence Day and God Bless America. Yesterday I asked our Twitter followers to send me some questions to answer in this special mailbag edition of Rangers Roundup. Let’s Go!

We know all the blue chippers kaako Fox Kravtsov and more – give me your top three sleeper prospects #asktilt

Tilt: Jake Elmer, Morgan Barron, and Tarmo Reunanen

With all the new additions who are you most excited to watch play this season? #AskTilt

Tilt: Kaapo Kakko

Who is the next Ranger to be signed or traded? Are they looking into any cheap UFA’s that are still left? #AskTilt
— KREIDERMAN (@KREIDERMAN20) July 3, 2019

Tilt: Vlad Namestnikov. They are always looking, but will need to determine where they are cap wise first. Expect possibly late signings after all RFA’s are signed.

Who do you expect to be the best player in their prime out of all the prospects who are not pro level yet? (Miller, Lundqvist, Barron, Robertson, etc.) #AskTilt

Tilt: K’Andre Miller, without a doubt.

Should there be a sense of urgency to secure the RFAs? If another team were to send an offer sheet to Trouba, could it put the Rangers into deeper cap problems? What are the chances of this happening at this point? #AskTilt

Tilt: There is no urgency because the only RFA worth doing that with is Trouba and he was traded because he only wanted to play for one or two teams and he was traded to that team. So it won’t happen with Buchnevich, DeAngelo, or Lemieux.

Thanks everyone for the questions. Happy Fourth of July. Stay Safe! Don’t Drink and Drive. And God Bless America.
