I don't think there's any chance that White will center the 4th line. The 4th line doesn't play enough to justify spending 2.375 mil for White to center it.
The only way White makes this team is if Stepan isn't ready. Even then, White still might not make the team. It seems to be between Boyle and Kennedy for the 4th line center spot, with Kennedy likely having the upper hand.
I don't think Drury's injury will impact the roster one way or another. Drury won't be placed on LTIR and he won't miss more than a handful of games. He will be one of the 14 forwards on opening night and he will sit out until he is healthy enough to return. I don't see any reason for the Rangers to keep an extra body to sit in the press box and waste cap dollars.
