With the summer coming to a close, hockey is less than one month away. Albeit preseason, it’s hockey nonetheless. The New York Rangers have two RFA’s to sign and probably one more cap move to make before the season. For all intents and purposes, the summer of rebuilding was a success, and the team is about ready to enter a new era.
There’s just one thing missing. The team has gone a year and a half without having a captain. Of course, there are locker room leaders on every team. While the Rangers are a relatively young team, there are veteran leaders on the team (Marc Staal, Henrik Lundqvist, Chris Kreider).
