The old adage is that numbers don’t lie. The New York Rangers were not a very good team this season and their statistics support that. There are a few surprises, but the numbers make it very clear where the team needs to improve.
Personnel
The Rangers average age this season was 27.3 years. That made the Rangers the 12th youngest team in the league and slightly younger than the league average of 27.8 years. It’s important to note that the roster that finished the season averaged 25 years of age and would have qualified as the youngest team in the league.
