I would look at Boston and say, if I don't want to go into a full process of trying to rebuild this team, then I would look at what Boston did.

They identified what type of team they wanted to be.

They offloaded veterans for younger players, including, like, a guy you never even thought of, that who's Nadinov.

And all of a sudden, you're like, geez, I did a game two weeks ago.

We got four goals.

I know it's the game of his life, but still, not many guys get four goals in a game.

But they became a competitive team again.

Or you go further than that, but that involves into the offseason, and you do, as Prong said yesterday, you strip it way back.

And they've done it before.

They got lucky when they had the number one pick that Matthews was sitting there.

That's not always the case, but I think there's a stark reality they have to face.

The Rangers keep writing letters.

And so they're doing it.

I totally get it sucks.

And I totally get, too, that managers are really sensitive that if they go ahead into this process, what does that do for their chair that they're sitting in?

Are they cutting off one of the legs of their own chair?

But it's the right decision.

In a lot of cases...

I don't agree with some of the way the Rangers acquired these players, like the team they put together at the start of the year.

But I think what they're doing is absolutely the right thing.
