You know who has not a single bad player? Florida.
Edmonton definitely beats them if not for the fact that Edmonton is running a defense pair that they can't afford to put on the ice.
This story plays out every year and people won't accept it because "well the Rangers tried their best and hockey is hard." It's not hard. You put good players on your roster and you win. It's a two step process. These f***ing morons have every resource in the world to analyze everyone from McDavid to guys you've never heard of.
Florida was able to turn bad/below average players into positives because of overall buy-in/team dynamic and having high end players ahead of them on the depth chart.
Not a single person here, you included, would have thought signing Dimitry Kulikov, Ekman Larsson, or Mikkola would have improved Rangers D corps or made any difference in the team's path to a cup for example, since we keep harping on the defense.
