What happened on July 5 in the history of the New York Rangers
Glen Sather’s tenure as general manager of the New York Rangers will be controversial. His supporters will say that he built a Stanley Cup contender that came thisclose to winning it all in the 2014 and 2015. His detractors will point to his ill fated free agent signings and the trade deadline deals that gutted the team’s future. On this date in 2008, Sather made one of his biggest mistakes.
