Building a quality organization in the National Hockey League is a difficult task. There are organizations who spend the better part of a decade trying to field a competitor. In addition, there is no promise that things will get better following conventional wisdom. Sometimes, making decisions that should work, do not pan out and hold a team back. This is exactly why the Buffalo Sabres have been rebuilding for the better part of a decade.
For the Rangers, there is not a whole lot that is known about the team going forward. Outside of Henrik Lundqvist in goal, there really is not a safe player on the roster.
