Summary
The New York Rangers are in full retool mode, chasing a playoff push by targeting high-scoring forward Pavel Dorofeyev—whose two 35-goal seasons make him a perfect fit for their top six. But Vegas may be forced to let him go due to cap woes, and while a trade seems plausible, the Rangers face a major hurdle: they lack their own 2027 second-round pick, which limits their ability to offer him a lucrative contract. Without that pick, they can’t match the projected $9M AAV without triggering massive penalties. Getting Dorofeyev—whether via trade or offer sheet—looks like a tall, expensive order, but it could be the key to unlocking their Cup dreams.
