I am excited about their high end youth, I've been on the rebuild bandwagon since before there was a bandwagon, yet sometimes it takes that youth some NHL seasons to realize their potential.
Everyone was very excited about Kakko last season, let's be honest, he struggled. We saw glimpses all year, and even better in the 3 game play in. Chytil similarly has improved, yet still I am not sure anyone can say he is in his prime. No reason to go through all the youth here the point remains they are young and the Rangers have time.
That does not mean I think they should just sit around, more the timing right now for next season has them with a bunch of dead and badly allocated cap space. Much of that goes away next off-season when they'll know more about that youth. At some point potential will likely meet reality yet next year is probably not when that all comes together nor does it need to be.
