Rangers refuse to take shortcuts at NHL trade deadline
NY Post
So yes, with 15 games to go and a tournament berth still within the realm of possibility if you believe in divine intervention, of course the Rangers hierarchy sees the value of qualifying for the postseason.
But not to the extent of adopting a Playoffs or Bust mentality at Monday’s trade deadline. Not to the extent of sacrificing a potential piece of the future in exchange for an immediate fix. Not to the extent of deviating from the plan the organization adopted three years ago. There has been enough short-term pain through three consecutive playoff misses — likely to become four — not to put the blueprint in the shredder in the hopes of some short-term gain.More Related News
