Five burning questions for the New York Rangers this season

Igor Shesterkin is the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy or even the Hart Trophy this season.

Shesterkin was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy and the Hart Trophy last season. He is one of the favorites for this year's Veza. Shesterkins is a good player and a goalie. It is very hard for a goalkeeper to win the award. He's unlikely to do it. There have only been six goalkeepers to have won the trophy in NHL history.

Artemi Panarin's right wing position is a big question for the New York Rangers. Vitali Kravtsov is the favorite to play there. Alexis Lafreniere and Kaapo Kakko are the other possibilities. Gerard Gallant has opted to keep Laf Reniere on the kid line with Filip Chytil.

Patrick Kane is available at the trade deadline. Jakob Chycrun from Arizona, Jesse Puljujarvi from Edmonton and Anthony Beauvillier from the Islanders are also possibilities. Chris Drury should have a busy few months ahead.

Alexis Lafreniere, Kaapo Kakko, and Filip Chytil had impressive playoffs. They are expected to play more offensive roles this season. There are questions about their playing time. They might be split up. The question is whether they can play in the top six.

The New York Rangers are looking forward to the new season. They won the Metropolitan Division last year and reached the Eastern Conference Finals against Tampa Bay. The team has one of the most talented rosters in the league, led by one the best goalies in NHL. The Eastern conference is the better conference. New Yorkers want to see their team playing in late May or early June.
