They resigned Lundqvuist and Shannahan.
But they signed arguably two of the best FA out there in Drury and Gomez and shorthanded their two most competitive rivals in the process.
It’s not longer Jagr and 11 children playing for the Rangers. They are a team to be reckoned with and are the favorites to go all the way next year.

They really made huge splashes in the FA market, that is for sure.
And seriously, what is up with these huge contracts in the NHL? I thought the lockout was supposed to prevent contracts like these from taking place. And from what I understand, unlike the NFL, these contracts are guaranteed. I think the strong Canadian dollar has been a boost for the league.

Rangers front line is stronger than the Canadian dollar :)
