New York Rangers: The ten worst trades in franchise history

Every team makes bad trades, and the New York Rangers have made their fair share. Here is a list of the ten worst deals ever made by the Rangers.

The New York Rangers have had a long history. They’ve had their share of victory and they’ve had more than their share of defeat. The same is true in the history of the team’s trades over the course of their franchise.

Today, let’s take a look at the 10 worst trades the New York Rangers have ever made. This might bring back some awful, awful memories for long-time fans.

There is one caveat to this list, though; no matter how one-sided a trade might seem, if it resulted in the team winning the Stanley Cup, it won’t be on the list. For instance, if the team had not won in 1994, the trades of Tony Amonte, Todd Marchant, Mike Gartner, James Patrick and Darren Turcotte could warrant inclusion among the 10 worst deals. Deadline deals like the trade for Eric Staal and Martin St. Louis didn’t make the cut either.

Some of these trades are ancient history, but they all deserve a place on the top 10 list. Here we go!
