Arthur Cev's season-ending injury has put the New York Rangers in a tight spot, particularly as they approach the playoff stretch. After being claimed off waivers from the LA Kings earlier this season, Cev had finally started to find his footing, contributing three goals and an assist in 14 games. However, his lack of mobility and defensive skills were noted as areas needing improvement. As Cev heads into restricted free agency this summer, the Rangers will need to evaluate their options and how his contract situation plays into the team's future.

On a different note, the podcast pays tribute to former Ranger Tomas Kochek, who tragically passed away at the age of 45. Kochek, a hard-hitting defenseman known for his physical play, had a brief but memorable tenure with the Rangers. The episode wraps up with insights on the recent contract extension for Jonathan Quick, highlighting his role as a veteran presence on the team and what it could mean for the Rangers moving forward.
