Rangers Whiff on Free Agency Prize as Devils Swoop In

The New York Rangers had their sights set on a marquee free agent target this offseason, but the New Jersey Devils managed to land the prize instead. This is exactly the kind of move that can shift the balance of power in a division, especially when two teams separated by the Hudson River are jockeying for playoff positioning. The Rangers' front office will have some explaining to do to a fanbase that's grown accustomed to winning these kinds of battles in recent years.
