Revamped Rangers blue line could be start of something new
Over the past four seasons starting in 2020-21, only four of the NHL's defense pairings have been on the ice for at least 3,600 minutes at 5-on-5, two of them with the Rangers, who are the subject of a stability study. I am doing it. In the backend. Since K'Andre Miller left Wisconsin and turned […]
Team USA’s roster must include Rangers’ Chris Kreider
You make a list and check it twice, but if you don't have Chris Kreider on Team USA for the Four Nations (which most people don't), what the heck are you saying? Is it? Of course, the only list that matters is the one handed out by Team USA (and Minnesota) GM Billy Guerin. He […]

Rangers can make themselves hard to ignore
A year ago, the 1-3-1 came to life in a victorious season opener at Buffalo and served to set the template for Peter Laviolette's first season off the bench en route to the Presidents Trophy.

Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin opens contract season in impressive fashion:

How the Rangers should handle Igor Shesterkin’s contract offer from here
I've read various analyzes of why giving a goalie the kind of luxurious, long-term, cap-breaking contract that Igor Shesterkin is seeking is so risky, and they all make perfect sense.
