Some of that was the style of the league vs the Rangers not wanting to play 1-0 trap-a-thons, even though they got dragged into that garbage.

Some of that was injuries and buying the most expensive available replacement.

Some of that was trading every little bit of draft capital, and having nothing to build with.

Some of it was just plain bad luck.

Outside of a few spoiled brats, those teams didn't flat out give up.

All putting them on the PP would have shown was that they lacked skill.

We got 2 ho-hum players, it happens. The problem is that we stopped trying to get any more young talent
I'd like a detailed breakdown from the "the Rangerzzz rooooened them" crew of how exactly the Rangers told them to suck at skating, passing, puck handling, and shooting, and pretty much never get better.

Can't believe Mike Chicago did this to them.

That's what has always pissed me off. We have the ability to have the best, but we don't bother. It's a business to Dolan, having better prospects gets you more $$, so invest in what let's you get them
I don't believe Dolan ever gave a thought to building a Cup winner.....he's always been obsessed with having the most recognizable names on his roster because that translates into more celebrities in the seats which, of course, leads to more media coverage. His only other Rangers concern is that they make the playoffs. (No one is going to convince me that he didn't spend money he made from the Rangers on the likes of Isaiah Thomas and other Knicks busts.)

Maybe Lavi does just suck.

This team isn't good enough and was doomed a long time ago, but they used to just be annoying.

Now they're legit just getting steamrolled every night, and it's piling up in the L column.
The problem with Lavi is he hasn’t adapted to the modern game and doesn’t want to develop younger players on the fly which is now required to compete. The sooner y’all get rid of him, the quicker your turn around will occur.
