With a 16-17-1 record, the Rangers themselves look like a team that could end up missing the 2024-2025 playoffs. Despite being advertised as playoff contenders, they look like pretenders.
Some veterans in the lineup are fed up with their recent run of losses and have decided to hold themselves accountable. Of those interviewed recently, Ryan Lindgren, Artemi Panarin, and Vinnie Troecheck have admitted that they should be embarrassed.
And with that statement, Troecheck offered a bit of honesty, that we haven't seen from the organization lately. At least the front office has used fear to rule the roost.
With GM Chris Drury's latest statement that the team is looking to make a big swing, in order to remain a team that'll end up in the playoffs veterans have to feel the heat.
With the locker-room saturated in dejection, could Kreider, be the next to be moved? The last time another player was held out of the lineup, he ended up being traded swiftly to the West Coast.
It's difficult to tell, since this time Drury isn't using the bully pulpit in the media to discuss deals.
Either way, the team knows they have to improve not only for their careers, but for the fans, and the front-office of the New York Rangers.
Is this the time, which we see a significant turnaround in play?
