What happened on February 15 in the history of the New York Rangers

The New York Rangers are famous for acquiring superstars way past their prime. They come to New York and while they may play well, they never achieve the heights that they reached before. Brendan Shanahan, Luc Robitaille, Marcel Dionne, Martin St. Louis, Guy Lafleur are just a few of the names. In fact, eight of the top 14 goal scorers in the history of the NHL suited up for New York.
