My appeal is to the abundance of pessimistic New York Rangers fans, those who are worried that the team will find a way to compromise their future aspirations. Your despondency is well warranted, and I understand it.
But, I have good news for you pessimists. The Rangers do not seem willing to jeopardize their future by taking on more bad contracts. They do not seem to be willing to hinder the development of the young talent that is vital to their future success.
There are four reasons to be excited, four reasons that foreshadow a particularly bright future for our beloved Rangers.
