The New York Rangers are acting strange. They’re making smart, savvy moves that seem to support an overall change in the organization’s philosophy when it comes to analytics.
Bringing in Brandon Pirri was a remarkably smart move; not just because he’s a young, solid player who can help right now, but also because at worst he’s the type of guy who nets you solid assets come the trade deadline.
The only question when it comes to his acquisition is, well, what the hell is Jeff Gorton going to do with the four thousand forwards he now has on the roster?
