We are roughly two months away from the beginning of the 2018-2019 season, which means it is time for an unnecessary amount of prediction.

The Rangers are in uncharted territory this year as they try to traverse a full fledged rebuild. Youth and patience have been the key words of the offseason. As the rest of the Metropolitan division has bettered themselves, the Rangers have stuck to the long game. The hope is that they have bettered themselves, but realistically no one will know that for sure until a few years in the future.

New York has locked up Brady Skjei long term this offseason. They have signed a few bridge deals with Ryan Spooner and Vladislav Namestnikov and they will have Kevin Hayes around for one more year at least. The next question becomes, what will the starting lineup look like for New York come October 4th against Nashville.

While the finished product is still in question, here is a look at home the Rangers season will play out month by month. Disclaimer: if you expect to read about a miraculous playoff push in late March and early April you can stop reading now.
