Aside from Artemi Panarin, the New York Rangers are looking for a top-six forward who could be a game-changer for the team and there are several great options. That is according to NHL Insider Frank Seravalli of the Daily Face Off.
The New York Rangers lineup isn't complete by any means. The team has traded away 13-year veteran Chris Kreider. With other players such as Kaapo Kakko gone, the depth in the Blueshirts organization looks kind of thin.
While this is promising news for young players like Will Cuylle and Gabe Perreault, that doesn't secure them a spot at the top of the lineup.
As DailyFaceOff's Frank Seravalii has mentioned, GM Chris Drury and the New York Rangers are still on the hunt for a top-six forward.
At this point in the season, the pickings are slim as all of the top free agents have signed elsewhere, or stuck with their original clubs (Brock Boeser).

The New York Rangers will instead have to work the trade markets, which slims the possibilities of acquiring a true game changer, depending on how much Chris Drury wants to spend.
Jason Robertson is one name that we've heard mentioned throughout trade rumors all summer, but no one has made the leap to make an offer just yet. But the question remains, would GM Jim Nill bite? This season, he scored 80 points (35-45) and is one of the Stars' best forwards in the lineup.
Jordan Kryou
While they could look West with a former trade partner for a winger, like Jordan Kyrou. His full no-trade clause kicked in on July 1st, which would make the move difficult unless he signs off on it.. This season, he's scored 70 points (36-34) and has a cap hit of $8.125 million AAV.
With the ascent of Jimmy Snuggerud, he has effectively given the Blues flexibility to move a superstar like Kyrou, which could work to the Rangers' benefit.
