For a team that is actively and admittedly rebuilding, the New York Rangers have a clear path forward. Although the team only has one contract on the books that goes past the 2020-2021 season, there is a clear core. It is not too much of a stretch to imagine what the team will look like in two or three seasons.
Typically, New York has been a team that has drafted moderately well and supplemented the picks with outside help. In addition to being aggressive in both trades and free agency, the team has had a fair amount of luck with college free agents.
