Despite the tumultuous start to his tenure in New York, he oversaw one of the longest stretches of sustained success in New York Rangers history. Sather is famous for stating he could win every year with the Rangers' budget, then followed it up with horrible signings, trades, and finally admitting the Rangers needed to rebuild.
The 5-time Stanley Cup winner left a mark on the game, with the Rangers making the playoffs in all but one season between the lockout and 'The Letter,' proving crucial in the team's success and rebuild efforts.
Some will say the Rangers were all Henrik Lundqvist, but Sather deserves credit for the rebuild and finding players to build around, highlighting his contributions beyond individual talents to the team's roster construction.
Colin Campbell, mentioned for his coaching between Mike Keenan and the 'Dark Ages,' faced controversies but remains part of Rangers history, showing the complex tapestry of individuals in the team's legacy.
