Rangers’ Tuch Watch Could Turn Into A Costly Free-Agency Swing

The Rangers are getting a classic front-office headache here - the player is good enough to matter, and the market is strong enough to make the price sting. If Alex Tuch reaches free agency, New York has to weigh the upside against the kind of cap pain that can haunt a roster for years. That is the double-edged sword in this business: you either pay for help or watch someone else solve the problem. The Rangers do not get many easy decisions, and this one already smells expensive.
