Who the Heck is Mike Wilson?

The Vancouver newspaper The Province, gives the Ranger roster the last time they visited Vancouver during the 2002-2003 season...

2002-'03 New York Rangers:
Petr Nedved, Eric Lindros, Tom Poti, Mark Messier, Matt Barnaby, Bobby Holik, Pavel Bure, Brian Leetch, Radek Dvorak, Mikael Samuelsson, Jamie Lundmark, Vladimir Malakhov, Sandy McCarthy, Ron Petrovicky, Darius Kasparaitis, Alexei Kovalev, Rem Murray, Boris Mironov, Dale Purinton, Anson Carter, Dan LaCouture, Cory Cross, Ted Donato, Sylvain Lefebvre, Mike Wilson, Josh Green, Dixon Ward, Mike Dunham, Mike Richter, Johan Holmqvist, Dan Blackburn

...I know that was a pretty bad time for this franchise, but man there were some really good players on that team. Not all of them in their prime or healthy, but there was a lot of talent there.

...it's amazing how an entire roster can be turned over in five years.

Great find!!! That lineup should have been good enough to at least get in the playoffs. Man we sucked back then. Makes you feel bad when you complain about the current Ranger team.
