The Rangers are among the teams that have done some research into Coyotes winger Phil Kessel. The 34-year-old is in the final season of his contract with Arizona carrying a $6.8MM cap hit, one that few playoff-bound teams other than New York can actually afford without requiring retention.
Kessel has just six goals in 60 games but has chipped in with 31 assists to sit fourth in team scoring. Arizona’s asking price earlier in the season was a third-round pick which would be a reasonable price to pay to add some extra offensive depth on the wing.
The Rangers already made a move like that this week with the acquisition of Frank Vatrano but they still have cap and roster space to add more help on that front. But they want a player with an offensive mind, not a type of player like Artturi Lehkonen...
