The Rangers are circling a target that would bring some upside and plenty of second-guessing. This is the kind of pursuit that tells you a front office thinks the current roster needs more than polite adjustments. A Canucks forward with real upside always comes with strings attached, and those strings are usually what make a deal interesting. New York is clearly poking around the edges of risk because the alternative may be standing still.
