We’ve just passed the one-month mark of the NHL season. It may be too early to say which offseason moves have been busts or successes, but some are off to better starts than others.

New York Rangers
The New York Rangers are one of the top teams in the NHL currently with a record of 11-2-1, which is good for first in the Metropolitan Division.

With the rumors of Patrick Kane likely signing with a team in November making the rounds, the New York Rangers are again being linked to the nine-time All-Star. Given how Kane became a Ranger in February, it is no surprise that he would be interested in returning and that the Rangers would be interested. While
The MVP for the New York Rangers is their goaltender, Igor Shesterkin. He has been the backbone for this team ever since becoming the starting goalie in 2021. He won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s best goalie during the 2021-22 season, and although his numbers took a step back last season, he was the
General manager Chris Drury spent on a budget this offseason, bringing in veteran depth forwards to fill the vacancies in the New York Rangers’ bottom six.

The first two games of the Peter Laviolette era on Broadway have given us something we have not seen in quite some time.

It has become a time of the utmost uncertainty for the New York Rangers. Significant offseason changes have dramatically shifted the Blueshirts into a precarious position before the 2023-24 NHL campaign.

Every player comes into a season with the expectation that they are at the start of a career year, but few realize that hope. Last season, many of the teams in the ultra-competitive Metropolitan Division succeeded or failed based on the ability of players like Jack Hughes, Alexis Lafreniere, and Martin Necas to have a
Igor Shesterkin is easily among the greatest active goaltenders, if not the greatest. The Russian superstar netminder has posted a .924 save percentage (SV%) in his four NHL seasons thus far.
