Golden Knights Could Give Rangers a Shortcut - At a Painful Price

That kind of opportunity does not come cheap in this league, especially when one front office senses leverage and the other is trying to get younger without tearing the whole thing down. New York has to decide whether the fit is worth the cost, because in the NHL the price of getting ahead is usually paid in prospects, picks, and regret.
