With just about a dozen games to go, the New York Rangers season will come to a close. It will cap a second consecutive season where the Blueshirts miss the playoffs in the midst of a rebuild.
There has been massive trades, drafts, and other things that have gone on with this franchise over the last 18 or so months. The Rangers and their fans have said goodbye to some lifetime Rangers, and have acquired a ton of assets. The Rangers are on the up and up, and the future looks bright. With a lot of cap space, and Russian superstar Artemi Panarin available, Jeff Gorton is primed to make a big run at him.
