On February 8, 2018, Glen Sather and Jeff Gorton penned a letter to New York Rangers fans. Little did they know, their words would send the fan base into a “rebuild” frenzy, ready to trade for any draft pick and young prospect on the market.
At the age of 26, many fans have convinced themselves that Rangers forward, and a former fifth overall draft pick, Ryan Strome has no withstanding future as a member of the Blueshirts. But for those fans who can’t seem to view Strome’s stellar start to the season as anything more than an increase in trade value at the deadline, here’s my advice to you: swallow your pride, put down the copy of the letter you printed out and hung up on your wall, and hop on the Strome train, because you’re missing a fun ride.
