I'm pleased to announce I've written a book of 43 years worth of #NYR anecdotes and stories, called The Franchise: New York Rangers (Triumph Books). Brian Leetch wrote the foreword. It publishes in October but you can pre-order at Amazon:

This doesn’t absolve 93 or 20 at all, but NYR went into the deadline needing a 1RW and believing they were serious Cup contenders. They should have sold the farm for Guentzel. They ended up with third liners rotating on the first line.
