The New York Rangers started 2024/25 in fantastic form, but over their last 13 games they are just 3-10-0, with the wheels falling completely off what should be a contending team.
However, things could be getting worse before they get better, and according to a recent report from NHL analyst Steve Dangle has uncovered that things are much worse in New York than initially expected.
The first issue that the team had with GM Chris Drury was the way he handled the Barclay Goodrow departure, as he reportedly had the San Jose Sharks on his no-trade list before Drury simply waived him to help out a friend in San Jose knowing that they would be the team to claim him.
Then was the handling of Jacob Trouba over the last few months, with many in New York believing that his comments after the trade to Anaheim were indicative of how the entire locker room feels.
Unfortunately, Trouba's time in New York didn't end well for the player or the team, and he made that clear in the comments that Dangle believes represent the feelings of the entire team.
It's unclear exactly what a revolt in New York would look like, but Dangle's co-host believes the team have already 'quiet quit', and given their lack of effort as of late, that could be seen as a direct response to Drury.
At this point, things are simply falling apart for the Rangers, and while there's time to turn things around, unless something changes, this may only get worse as the year rolls on.
