According to my calculations it comes down to the Rangers only being able to protect two of the following four players... Strome, Blackwell, Gauthier, Ronning.
Whom the Rangers protect, It’s hard to predict. Strome and Blackwell are very solid NHLers that could play centre and wing, but Gauthier and Ronning (8 goals in 9 AHL games) are looking like very solid prospects.
Maybe the Rangers trade their 2021 1st round pick to Seattle, so they could keep everyone? Until yesterday I had no idea how well Ronning has improved himself into a solid prospect.
