Rangers Going Forward

The Rangers, at this point have done much to decimate their farm and future.  Thanks to Gordie Clark, and that Scouts, though, the cupboard is still surprisingle far from bare.  Although, when these kids will finally get their chances is anyones guess given the coach and the GM's willingness to send them off.

Going forward without so many picks, the Rangers should remain an attractive landing spot for undrafted or unsigned players -- like Hayes was -- and they'll have to keep working that market.   They'll have to find some cap room, and it better not be at the expense of Stepan, Kreider, Hags or Miller, etc.

They need to start sending down unproductive veteran players like they used to and like Glass, for starters.

In the short term, before the deadline passes tomorrow, I'd like to see them make some sort of redemptive move.  You know, something that shows Gorton and Clark still have a voice in the room.  Either by trading old for young or by sending down scrubs and bringing up the kids.   I'd hate to see them trade more prospects or anymore picks, and extending MZA is nebulous to me.   Also, their greatest need, in my opinion, was to get a bit bigger and tougher for this cup run, and they didn't do it with the Yandle move.

So there we are.  Stop being so careless Rangers and do something smart to restore some of the value you've just given away.
