New York Rangers: Treading water or moving forward?

When the New York Rangers announced that they were rebuilding in February 2018, the team was still in playoff contention. It was very possible that the team would make the post-season, but another early exit loomed. With several big contracts expiring, the idea of getting a return of youth and draft picks made perfect sense. The big difference was throwing Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller into the trade mix.

It’s now been two trade deadlines and off-seasons with another one looming. How well has the team done at remaking the team into one that will be a playoff contender?
