Jimmy Vesey, a former New York Rangers forward, expressed regret over the end of his NHL career, which he attributes to a poor season, injuries, and a lack of trust from coaches. Vesey requested a trade from the Rangers in December 2024, aiming to improve his chances of signing elsewhere, but was only traded to the Colorado Avalanche in March, where he played 10 games before being out of the league. Now playing in Switzerland with Geneve-Servette, Vesey considers his six years with the Rangers the highlight of his career. Meanwhile, the Rangers are optimistic about returning to the playoffs in 2025-26, supported by new coach Mike Sullivan’s approach, the return of key players like J.T. Miller and Igor Shesterkin, and positive preseason outlooks. However, preseason injuries are mounting across the NHL, with notable players like Nicolas Hague, Kaapo Kakko, Drake Batherson, and Anders Lee sidelined due to injuries. The season's start is approaching, with analysts highlighting the Rangers’ potential to rebound despite not being a top Stanley Cup contender, and emphasizing the importance of team chemistry and health for a successful season.
