With their projected development I expect Buchnevich, Kakko, Chytil, Lafreniere, Gauthier, Miller, and Howden to be better players next season than they are right now. So I think the lines look good.
The cap issues the following year though might be an issue, so there's not much the Rangers can do with the cap space they have next year. Unless Gorton signs UFA's to one year contracts.
Possibly the Rangers trade for a center like Eichel for maybe Fox if Lundkvist, Schneider, and Skinner are close to being ready for the NHL. As well as if Robertson and Jones are close to being ready for the NHL allowing Lindgren to move over to RD if needed.
Zibanejad's contract is up at the end of next season and I don't believe signing him to a 7 year around $9 million contract at age 29 will work out well for the Rangers. I believe it would be better to sign Eichel long term and let Zibanejad walk.
