Their captain, Jacob Trouba.. and maybe one of their fourth line guys? The New York Rangers quickly went from being wolves to puppies in the matter of two nights after trading Ryan Reaves.
Ryan Reaves and his agent requested a trade to leave the New York Rangers after the management group decided to bench Ryan Reaves for twenty-two straight days, his last game played was on November 3rd, and since, he had been in the press box each night.
The Rangers will now be bullied without having much ''protection'' due to Reaves being traded to the Minnesota Wild, and they are now being toyed with as displayed in their first game without Ryan Reaves which took place against the Edmonton Oilers:
The New York Rangers held a 3-0 lead until Oilers defensemen Evan Bouchard buried home two goals within three minutes to put the game within one, Dylan Holloway ended up scoring the tying goal, and with just two minutes left to go in regulation Leon Draisaitl buried home the game winner and trolled the Rangers ''captain'' Jacob Trouba.
Sadly, the Rangers and Wild do not play each other for the rest of the year, but their most recent matchup which was two weeks ago contained a Ryan Reaves fight, against his not knowing new teamamte Marcus Foligno.
