What If: The Rangers didn’t sell the farm in 1994?

Another in our What If Series, something that we are hoping to continue this offseason.

The 1994 run to the Stanley Cup was magical. The Rangers ended the curse, we could all die in peace, and have a lasting memory to last a lifetime. But to get there, GM Neal Smith sold the team’s future to suit Mike Keenan’s needs. The end result was the Cup and the end of a curse, but the selling of the farm led to mediocre teams in the following three years, followed immediately by the dark ages.
