New York Rangers: A Look at the other Rebuilding Teams

The New York Rangers are far from the only team in the NHL to be rebuilding. They are currently over a year into this rebuild, so it’s time to start comparing where these different rebuilds are.

Last season, the New York Rangers announced that they would be rebuilding. They are now over a calendar year into the rebuild, and it seems to be having mixed results. The team has been stocking up on young talent, but is currently still buoyed by veteran players.

As such, the Rangers as currently constituted are too good to have the best odds of winning the lottery and getting one of the top draft picks this year. This is particularly discouraging because this year’s draft happens to have multiple top-tier talents set to be selected at the top of the draft, namely Kappo Kaako and Jack Hughes. The fact that the Rangers, as bad as they are, aren’t at the bottom of the standings shows that there are a few other teams in the process of rebuilding.

There are four teams that are pretty much guaranteed to finish below the Rangers at the bottom of the NHL standings.  This article will take a look into those four teams and where they are in the rebuilding process.
