After the trade deadline, New York Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton hinted at accelerating the rebuilding process. The Adam Fox trade is only just the beginning.
Over the last few seasons, Gorton has masterfully acquired 14 draft picks over the last two seasons, putting the Rangers in a unique position. They’ve since used some of those picks, along with using them to move up in the draft and acquire players like Fox.
It’s all a part of Gorton’s plan to help move this rebuild along over the next couple of years.
