The New York Rangers have deteriorated significantly since their peak performance a couple of seasons ago. General Manager Chris Drury's offseason was marked by poor trades, including captain Jacob Trouba and Chris Kreider for minimal returns. His attempts to rebuild were met with skepticism, especially after trading defenseman Ke'Andre Miller for similar low-value returns. While Drury signed defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov as a primary acquisition, the team's overall talent depletion was evident. Additional signings included players likely to play in lower-tier roles, indicating a lack of positive impact and a setback for the franchise.
