A month into the NHL season and the New York Rangers are just about where everyone expected them to be. Last in the Metropolitan, currently three games under 500, it should come as no surprise given that the team is in the midst of a rebuild, with a bunch of younger inexperienced players and a first-year head coach.
Now, this does not mean we just write them off for the rest of year. After all, because the division is tight, they only sit three points out of third and four points out of first. But still, with the factors mentioned above, it is still going to be a tough ride for the New York Rangers and their new coach David Quinn.
