When The Sum Is Less Than The Parts
Barclay Goodrow for six years at $3.64M. The trade of Pavel Buchneivch for only a slightly better return that what Lias Andersson drew less than a year ago – and a report that said the Rangers were willing to walk away from him for nothing. The acquisition of Ryan Reaves for a third round pick, and his ensuing extension for another year. A draft that was noticeable for it’s heavy focus on physical players over skill. The signing of two players – Reaves and defenseman Jarred Tinordi, known for their willingness to throw down, particularly with a specific person of interest.
Each one of these things could pass on it’s own, but taken as a whole raises a question: just how obsessed with Tom Wilson have the Rangers become?
