The New York Rangers will have tough decisions to make in the off-season, as they have several free agents to attend to. While accounting for multiple contracts signed during the season to kick in, major moves are headed our way, as we could see more turnover.
The New York Rangers have fallen out of contention for a playoff spot this season, even as a wild card, and will have to sit with the consequences.
Since their 2023-2024 President's Trophy run, they've gone through what seemed like an existential crisis. With Jacob Trouba, Jimmy Vesey, Ryan Lindgren, Kaapo Kakko, Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and other assets being moved, the Rangers look and feel like a new team.
Of course they are.
Now comes the difficult part where GM Chris Drury will have to decide what happens to veterans like Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider, who have underperformed this year.
While there's discussion of getting rid of Head Coach Peter Laviolette who in his second year with the squad has failed to replicate the kind of season that made the NHL think they were contenders.
t could start with coach Peter Laviolette. With several names available, including former Rangers coach John Tortorella, Laviolette has to know that there will be chatter surrounding his future.
RFAs like K'Andre Miller and Will Cuyllle could be players to keep an eye on as well, as teams could send out offer sheets after the St. Louis Blues' choice to steal Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg away from the Edmonton Oilers.
We're now on the cusp of chaos, and could see the Rangers 2.0 in 2025-2026.
