The New York Rangers have had a lot of questionable players on their roster over the years. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest headscratchers to play for the team since 2010.
The New York Rangers have employed a lot of quality players over the last several years. Since 2010, Ryan McDonagh, Rick Nash, Marian Gaborik, Mats Zuccarello, Chris Kreider, Martin St. Louis, Kevin Shattenkirk and of course Henrik Lundqvist are just a few of the names that have left a mark (and will continue to leave a mark) on Broadway.
But the Blueshirts have also paid some pretty horrible players along the way, too. And that’s what we are going to talk about today.
After digging through each roster from the last seven seasons, I have picked out the five worst players to wear the Rangers’ sweater over their heads within that timespan.
Before I begin to mention names, there were a few boxes that each candidate for this list had to have checked off to make the list. For starters, said players needed to play at least 20 games for the Rangers to be eligible for this list, so guys like Emerson Etem, Mike Kostka, Tim Erixon, and Paul Carey who may have made this list otherwise were omitted.
Also, players that were considered ‘goons’ were also omitted from the list. So if you were excited to see guys like John Scott, Stu Bickell, and Tanner Glass on this list, you will be disappointed
