Live from the Blue Seats - A NY Rangers Podcast

Can Kaapo Kakko or Alexis Lafreniere grab a top line role?

Season 3, Ep. 2
•

Becky returns for this week's episode of Live from the Blue Seats as the crew gears up for the start of the 2022-23 season. When news broke on Monday that Jimmy Vesey was next up in Gerard Gallant's revolving door of top line right wingers, Rangers fans were not too pleased. It's clear that Vesey isn't a long-term solution, but who on the current roster (if anyone) is? Becky, Dave and Rob discuss the merits of breaking up the Kid Line in order to solve NYR's 1RW problem.


The gang also chats through some more over/unders, this time looking at some key players' point projections for the season. The show concludes with some great listener-submitted questions.
