The
New York Rangers have had a rough first 40 games to
the 1996 NFHL season. They sit at 15 – 21 – 4 and
are the only team not to score 100 goals. A terrible
offense coupled with a below average defense is a
very bad combination. They are currently tied for 8th
worst in the league with the Los Angeles Kings. The
Rangers could easily slip down another spot or two.
Add in two expansion teams and the Rangers should be
looking at a top 10 draft pick in what many consider
to be a fairly strong draft class. Adding a top 10
pick to prospects like Alex Daigle, Jarome Iginla,
Danil Markov, and Sheldon Souray should give fans a
small glimmer of hope for the future with players
like Nicklas Lidstrom, Tim Thomas, Jere Lehtinen,
and Vyachelsav Kozlov on the pro team.
