The 2020-21 New York Rangers lost three important leaders this past offseason. Marc Staal, Jesper Fast, and Henrik Lundqvist were all victims to time and circumstance.
Both Staal and Fast wore an “A” on their sweaters which now belong to Artemi Panarin and Jacob Trouba. Fine replacements, and before I go any further I want to be clear; the Rangers don’t have a leadership issue.
