Key Points:
- The New York Rangers, currently last in the Eastern Conference with a five-game losing streak, will begin retooling their roster this season, focusing on smart, opportunistic changes rather than a full rebuild, according to president and GM Chris Drury.
- Injuries to key players Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox have compounded the team’s struggles, with the Rangers having the fewest home wins in the Eastern Conference and ranking 30th in the league in scoring.
- Drury indicated potential trades involving key players, notably Artemi Panarin, who leads the team in scoring and is in the final year of his contract; the Rangers have informed Panarin they will not offer a new deal and are seeking trade options before the March 6
