The New York Rangers prepare to enter free agency with approximately $26.6 million in cap space on July 1. The team seeks impactful players, with restricted free agents (RFAs) presenting a more appealing option than unrestricted free agents., Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars is highlighted as a prime target, although signing him may entail significant compensation in draft picks.
