"Like Ares comes the bridegroom, taller far than a tall man."

The Rangers have a lot of work to do this offseason, and their plan of action thereforth will be tied to their extent of movement preceding the 2018 trade deadline. Skjei, Miller, and Hayes all need long-term extensions next summer (Miller and Hayes having outperformed the value of their bridge-deals, and Skjei simply because he is far too valuable not to lock up), and there will be a number of prospects knocking on Gorton's door vying for roster spots (Lettieri, Pionk, DeAngelo, Graves, Andersson, Chytil - at least three of whom should be making the team in some capacity). It should be fairly clear to the Rangers' front office that their best bet is to build the team around their young core through the draft, so Deadline deals should reflect that much.
