New York Rangers to make strong push to acquire 6-foot-5 power forward this offseason

   

Brett LeasonIf GM Chris Drury and the New York Rangers need to add more size to the lineup, they need only to look West to the Anaheim Ducks.UFA Brett Leason could be a reasonable addition to the Rangers' bottom-six and needs a new home. Drury should oblige.

While all of the big-name free agents are off the board, the rest who remain could end up fetching league minimum deals at this point in the year.
One of those not-so-well-known forwards is a sizable 6-foot-5 power-forward in Brett Leason, who's a UFA and last played for the Anaheim Ducks.
With August inching closer and training camps getting ready to fire up, teams will need additional talent to fill out the roster.
The Rangers could utilize the power forward to sign to a one-year, league minimum deal ($775K) or as a PTO in order to stoke competition in camp.
The gritty forward has played 184 games in the NHL, scoring 48 points (22-26), with 179 hits, and 127 blocks.
He's a prototypical power-forward who's not just pure muscle, as he plays the kind of game coaches and GMs love: north to south hockey, and he's shown flashes of offensive potential.
Leason should cost no more than $1 million AAV to acquire, and could be a low-risk addition that could yield excellent results depending on the chemistry he has with others in the lineup.
While other sites have linked him to the Toronto Maple Leafs, he's up for grabs as a UFA, and he could fit into Brad Treliving's system.
But the Rangers love power-forwards with upside, too.
