The New York Rangers face significant changes as they have traded Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey, two key figures in the locker room and on the ice. Coach Peter Laviolette acknowledged their impact, noting it's tough to see such changes. The team core, once stable, has been shaken with recent trades, leading to emotional responses from players like Mika Zibanejad, who expressed disappointment about the ongoing turnover. The Rangers, now in a playoff battle, must quickly adapt to these changes to maintain their momentum for the remainder of the season.
