New York Rangers’ general manager Jeff Gorton made a lot of deals at the trade deadline. What grade does he deserve for his work? The Blue Line Station crew have their report cards ready!
New York Rangers’ general manager Jeff Gorton and president Glen Sather weren’t kidding when they announced that they would start to rebuild their roster at the deadline.
The team traded multiple fan favorites over the past week. Rick Nash, Michael Grabner, Nick Holden, and most recently Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller were the first five casualties of those efforts. For the five players, the franchise acquired 14 different assets in the form of a few roster players, prospects and draft picks.
The Rangers had a solid group of assets to flip at the deadline. How did they do? Our Blue Line Station team offers their opinions on the quality of Gorton’s work.
