Are the rangers pretty much out of the race at this point.

The east is so weak that they are really not out of it... they just suck ass and deserve to be out.

Would the east be stronger if they had 3 sub 20 win teams?

Tampa's last 2 games vs OTT showed why they're still Top 3 in the Atlantic. Both close games (till the last 5 mins last night) but their experience shows in games like that. See them doing the same vs DET.

Detroit has already shown they can defeat Tampa on the road recently so I expect them to be just as competitive at home tomorrow.

I don't know about that. A wild card team from the east like Detroit just swept all 4 western NHL teams (2nd ranked Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle) they played on their western trip and have also defeated the West's top team Winnipeg away recently.
