I know the Flames are jammed up with middle-six wingers and heavy on left shots, but I would be doing a deep dive on Will Cuylle if you can get him for second-round compensation.
23 years old
6'3 210
45 points of which only 3 came on the powerplay
-5v5 on-ice shooting % of 11.4 so a little fortunate but not a PDO bender by any means
Kills penalties
Positive relative possession player
Tied with Pospisil for third in the league in hits
Per PuckPedia the Rangers have $8.5 million in cap space and need to sign K. Miller, Cuylle, one more D (assuming Miller re-signed, if not two), and one or two more forwards, all while entering the final season of their Panarin window.
Likely the Rangers find a way to match but could be a sneaky candidate.
