For the last six New Year’s, the New York Rangers have had one goal in mind: win the Stanley Cup. And for over the last six years, that specific goal has yet to be met.
If they fail in to do so in 2018, that goal needs to be reassessed.
Rebuilding is not a word the Rangers want to use with Henrik Lundqvist under contract for the next three seasons. And it doesn’t look they are considering a full-on rebuild. Instead, the Blueshirts have been doing a rebuild on the fly.
