After the New York Rangers’ most recent game, a tough 7-5 loss at the hands of possibly their biggest rivals, the New York Islanders, something needed to change.
While it’s clear that the new coach and his team are trying to win every game. this season has been labelled as one of rebuilding (even tanking?). However, a losing record can lead to the creation of a losing culture. This could be the reason why, completely out of the blue, the Rangers sent Ryan Spooner to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for 25-year old center Ryan Strome.
Both players have the same stats this season (1-1-2), but that’s not where the similarities end.
