Yeah, just like I don't agree with always pointing to Buffalo and Edmonton as a "warning" against rebuilding, I also don't agree with people pointing to the Rangers as how quick and successful a rebuild can be.
Look at some of their top end talent. Norris winning, elite number one D-man basically told NHL GM's he'd be playing in New York at the draft. Trouba decides to force his way there. Panarin signs there as a free agent as one of the top NHL forwards at the time.
Rangers success has little to do with a smart rebuild and everything to do with players forcing their way to them because it's New York city.
