The New York Rangers had the perfect change to add affordable depth options to the lineup with the latest waiver wire news on Wednesday.

On Wednesday afternoon several players hit the waiver wire, giving the New York Rangers a way to utilize some of the players who were placed on waivers.

One of them, the Rangers could find a spot for them in the lineup.

"Oesterle (BOS), Puljujarvi (FLA), Vrana (WASH) on waivers."

"Puljujarvi is on waivers because he signed a two-way contract with the Panthers."

"Fischer (DET) is also on waivers."

The Rangers look thin on defense and could find a way to fit Jordan Oesterle who was a part of the Bruins organization until he was placed on waivers.

Oesterle has served as a depth defenseman for the Calgary Wranglers for the majority of the season, playing 52 games in the AHL, scoring 11 points for the team (2 G, 9 A).

With K'Andre Miller and Adam Fox out, it'd be wise to stack depth options in preparation for injuries that never seem to stop.
