The New York Rangers' season has ended on a disappointing note, following an offseason filled with drama and poor performance. After winning the Presidents' Trophy last season, they dropped significantly to just 39 wins this year, marking only the fourth time in NHL history a team has missed the playoffs after such success. Off-ice turmoil surrounded star Artemi Panarin, with serious allegations clouding his future.

Coach Peter Laviolette is likely facing dismissal, and long-time Ranger Chris Kreider may have played his last game at Madison Square Garden. While Kreider netted his 326th career goal during the finale against the Tampa Bay Lightning, his lackluster season raises questions about his future with the team. As the Rangers head into a critical offseason, fans are left wondering what changes lie ahead to turn the tide for the franchise.
