Adam McQuaid didn’t get the letter. The defenseman was in Boston as a Bruin when Rangers management issued its landmark decree to the fan base last February. Thing is, he might not have read it, anyway.
“I know [the Rangers] traded a lot of guys at the deadline last year but I don’t really see this team as a rebuilding team,” said the righty, who will turn 32 on Oct. 12. “I think there’s a ton of potential and skill here even if it is a younger team. It doesn’t change my outlook on things.”
McQuaid had spent the first eight years of his career with Boston, winning the Stanley Cup in his 2010-11 rookie season.
