This got them to a point where they could roll the dice on a blockbuster to fill a missing piece (Pronger). Even then they barely made the playoffs as you obviously know.

Rangers have good young core of guys Del Z, Staal, Cally, Dubi & Henry.

The only difference was two misses on FA signings.

Flyers signed Kimmo.
Rangers signed Redden.

Flyers signed Briere. Rangers signed Drury.

uh... Gaborik?

same age as Lundqvist.
