When you think about how the New York Rangers rebuild is progressing over the last year and a half, it’s truly amazing to see them in the situation they find themselves in now.
This time last year, they fired their head coach in Alain Vigneault after a disaster season while seeing little to no progression from their younger players. Most individuals outside of the organization felt this could be a longer process and could potentially take up to five years or more of no hockey being played at the World’s Most Famous Arena come April/May/June.
