This team isn't going to be purposefully tanking. They're just not going to be very good. They're likely to be in the 4-8 range again. Ottawa and Detroit will still suck, but, I could see LA rebounding, and Jersey gets a big boost on D adding Subban, plus a motivated and healthy Hall. Buffalo, who knows? Someone unforeseen will drop...Columbus? Minnesota? People seem to forget that, after the trades os Hayes and Zuccarello, the Rangers were in the running with Buffalo for the worst record over that span. I still think a Panarin signing is at best 40/60, so if he doesn't come here AND Kreider and Vesey are moved, you're talking about another 90 points to replace on top of the loss of Hayes and Zuccarello. But, give Kakko and Kravtsov a year to get acclimated to the NHL, another year of growth from Chytil and year where Buchnevich solidifies his game, and 2020-21 becomes the year this team is ready to hit the ground running.
