Chuck, this roster has some good players, but MOST of it is bad which makes them easy to defend. If I'm coaching the Rangers, I blanket Nash (just like Gaborik) and I don't allow him to get free. Anybody else, I take my chance with because more often than not they either shoot the puck wide, or directly into the midsection. As for roster flaws, they need to start with the defense, and work their way up ...
Vigneault knows what he's doing. He probably is rolling his eyes when Sather's not looking since he can't believe how much crap he's assembled.
We are not that far away given the $$$$ we have and the cornerstones we have to build around (Lundqvist, McD, Kreider, Nash) Maybe we will get lucky and Slats will step down soon and we get a stud GM who can put the pieces together to transform this team next year and beyond. Just suck it up this year and maybe we get a top 6 pick
