New York Rangers stock market: The pre-draft edition

The 2017-2018 hockey season has come to a close, putting the off season into full swing. The New York Rangers have already completed their most important off season move, and hired David Quinn as their new head coach.

The New York Rangers look like they’ve found the perfect fit. David Quinn is a coach who exhibits tough love, holds players accountable, and loves playing talented young forwards. This is a stark contrast the the veteran-favoring Alain Vigneault.

In the history of the Rangers’ stock markets, there have been a number of times in which the player’s stock was down through factors outside of their control. For instance, a young player who has two bad games would have his minutes docked greatly.

It looks like these days are gone, however. With Quinn putting such an emphasis on player accountability, it looks like unfit players will no longer play undeservedly. It also appears that young players will no longer be held as scapegoats for a minor mistakes.

This leads us to this week’s stock market. With this new system in place, player’s stocks are in need of adjustment. Luckily, with this adjustment in the team’s hierarchy, success will come to New York sooner rather than later.
