For all intents and purposes the 2018-2019 New York Rangers are a team playing with house money. There is no reasonable expectation for a postseason run barring a miracle. The young team should at the very least make for a bad and exciting team. Meaning that although the team will create lots of offensive chances, they will also give up a lot of chances.
However, outside of the team’s horrendous defensive personnel, the Rangers have a lack of quality forward depth. Sure, the Rangers have a handful of really good players, but no one that is truly great.
