It’s been a funny and a lazy narrative. The running joke has been that Tom Wilson broke the Rangers and has single-handedly altered the Rangers trajectory and future. It’s easy to make the connection, with the Rangers getting Jarred Tinordi and Ryan Reaves as face punchers this offseason. Add that to the “tougher to play against” mantra and the Pavel Buchnevich trade, and you have yourself a narrative. But once you step away from the emotions of it all, Tom Wilson really hasn’t done much to alter plans. In fact, this was likely in the cards from the start.
