Sometimes it’s tough to figure out for whom to root when your team doesn’t make the playoffs. If none of the 16 teams that did reach the postseason inspire a fan to root for them, then there is another option — following the former players of that fan’s team.
When that person is a fan of a rebuilding team, it makes that even easier because there are often so many options to choose from. That’s the case for fans of the New York Rangers this spring. After moving players for two consecutive season to playoff teams, there are certainly options to watch.
