February 2018 was a momentous time for the New York Rangers. They acknowledged to their fans that the team was going nowhere and they needed to rebuild. It was a dramatic statement for Glen Sather and Jeff Gorton to make and within weeks, they proved that they were serious by trading some key players.
Trades cannot be judged the day they are made and sometimes it will take years to see who actually “won” a deal. The results of the February 2018 trades are becoming more and more clear for the Rangers and the picture is a good one.
