Rejoice everyone, hockey is almost back!
Expectations are high for the Rangers, as they were one win away from making back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals appearances. There are some new faces on the team, as retirement and an impending cap-crunch forced the Rangers to make some moves.
Gone are Martin St. Louis, Carl Hagelin, and Cam Talbot, three players who all made contributions to the Rangers sucessful season that produced a President’s Trophy.
Being up against the cap forced the Rangers to look for bargains in free agency, while also hoping that some of their homegrown players take the next step.
