Rangers 1994 Championship featured in a new documentary

Jeff Gorton discusses free agency and Alexis Lafreniere
Yesterday, Jeff Gorton and John Davidson chatted with the media via a Zoom conference. They were asked a myriad of questions, here’s a few highlights.
On Jesper Fast: As I recently wrote, it was more about the term and opportunities for younger forwards.
On signing Jack Johnson: Jacques Martin led the charge to bring him in, he’s a PK guy, insurance for kids not making it (Miller, Hajek, Reunanen)
On what’s next: They are still looking to see what is out there, but it does not seem the Rangers are going to do anything big.
“We want to play well this season, whenever this season is — whenever it starts and wherever it starts. We don’t have any idea. We want to get, of course, harder and grittier as we move along here. But when we manage a hockey club, we have to think about today, tomorrow and the future.”
