"Kartye, turning 25 in April, is a bottom line winger who is fine on defense but doesn't really do much on offense. Seeing as he's "just" 24 years old, it's likely Kartye is another flier by Chris Drury to maybe find a needle in a haystack, much like with the recent Vincent Iorio claim."
"Kartye is likely just another flier and a body to fill out the roster after the deadline, but he could also signal that a bottom six wing-probably Taylor Raddysh or Conor Sheary-is going to be moved at the deadline."
"Kartye is definitely a fourth line winger, which means after the deadline, assuming the Rangers make the trades we expect them to make, any prospects that are recalled would have spots in the top nine, not the fourth line."
The Rangers acquired 24-year-old winger Tye Kartye from Seattle via waivers. Kartye is a bottom-line player with solid defensive abilities but limited offensive production. General manager Chris Drury appears to be taking a flier on the young player, similar to recent acquisitions like Vincent Iorio. The claim may indicate that a bottom-six forward such as Taylor Raddysh or Conor Sheary could be traded before the deadline. Kartye's fourth-line role suggests that any recalled prospects would fill top-nine positions rather than the fourth line after deadline moves. Brennan Othmann was returned to Hartford.
