There won’t be an administrative knee jerk to the back-to-back losses any more than there was a front-office overreaction to the 9-1-1 streak that preceded the Rangers’ twin holiday weekend disappointments. General manager Jeff Gorton is taking the long view.
“We’re going to watch what unfolds, evaluate and go from there,” Gorton told The Post. “The way we play will be a factor in whatever decisions we make leading into the trade deadline. I’m certainly not in a hurry to do anything.”
Terrible teams with little on which to hang their hats and hopes have rather good reason to disassemble, bottom out and luck into a prime lottery pick to use on a franchise player.
