Just two years removed from winning the Presidents’ Trophy as the best team in the NHL, the underachieving New York Rangers have missed the playoffs the past two seasons, even with building blocks Igor Shesterkin, Mika Zibanejad and Adam Fox in place. Mark Lazerus welcomes Peter Baugh and Vince Mercogliano to discuss the Rangers’ offseason, including drafting Albert Smits fifth overall, trading Vincent Trochek and acquiring Pavel Dorofeyev and Joonas Korpisalo, as New York looks to return to the playoffs and avoid sending another “letter” to their long-suffering fans.
