The New York Rangers are coming off a season where things really did unravel quickly. Last season, they were coming off a playoff series victory. For this season, they are coming off a house cleaning.

The Blue Shirts, much to the chagrin of some, were open and honest about a rebuild and said they are all-in ob building a Stanley Cup champion and a contender.

It is definitely not ideal for the team to come out and say they don’t plan on winning much for the next few seasons and that they had given up on what they had. However, it is encouraging because the honestly shows ambition and long-term progress.
