One thing with Rykov that I noticed even in the last game he played is that he's not a great skater. He's good on his edges, but the foot speed is not great.
If there is still interest in a return to the NHL, I'm not sure it is here. If he can be part of a package, that might be the way to get value from him.
You’re right. He’s not the best in defending in the open ice, but he’s not a python either.
Otherwise I also agree that the time on his chance of becoming a Rangers is running out.
