"The Rangers followed up their perfect week with two more shutout losses at home to Carolina and the Isles, with a win in Detroit in between. In this week's Patreon post (subscribe here!), Dave talked what a Rangers rebuild could look like, but it'll never happen. Live From the Blue Seats talked why the Rangers can't win at home. Brennan Othmann's future with the Rangers is cloudy after his demotion last week."
"Brandon also talked the Rangers and Artemi Panarin, and what the future may hold. Brandon was busy last week, talking that the Rangers should rebuild, but won't. The Rangers offense lacks creativity, which is contributing to their powerplay issues as well. Given the dearth of offense, it makes you wonder who the Rangers miss more: Chris Kreider or the ghost of Artemi Panarin."
"In other roster moves, the Rangers returned Connor Mackey to Hartford, opening a roster spot for Vincent Trocheck's return. And finally, late last night the Rangers recalled top prospect Gabe Perreault. Please take a second to answer the NY Rangers Fan Confidence Poll below and give us an idea of how confident you are in the Rangers, their direction, coaching, management, prospects, and overall quality on the ice."
The Rangers sit at 7-7-2, sixth in the Metro. They suffered two home shutout losses to Carolina and the Islanders and won 4-1 in Detroit last week. Home offense has lacked creativity and the power play struggles as a result. Brennan Othmann was demoted, creating uncertainty about his future. Matt Rempe is on IR with a broken thumb. Connor Mackey was returned to Hartford to clear a roster spot for Vincent Trocheck's return, and top prospect Gabe Perreault was recalled. Jaro Chmelar debuted briefly before being sent back to Hartford. Debate continues over rebuilding versus maintaining the current core.
