The New Jersey Devils have re-signed Ilya Kovalchuk. Say hello to the basement for the forseeable future Ranger fans. The Flyers, Devils, Penguins are significantly better than us, even more so than last year. And the Islanders with all their youth and high draft picks will be better than us in a very short period of time. We don’t have the prospects to compete with any of these teams. My guess, the next 5 years the Rangers will finish in dead last in the Atlantic…of at the very best, 4th.
More analysis tomorrow.
