Rangers fans recall the fateful day in February 2018 when General Manager Jeff Gorton issued “the letter” to the club’s fans. Gorton knew the direction he was going to take and wanted to share his vision as well as alerting fans to the likelihood that fan favorites would be dealt at the trade deadline
“The decisions we make going forward will be based on long-term and not trying to save the season,” Gorton said. “We need to do what we can to get as many assets as we can and give us as many chances to rebuild this as we can, and basically try to find the kind of players we want.
