Mark Messier left the New York Rangers after the 1996-97 NHL season primarily due to a combination of factors, including the team's desire to rebuild and his own desire for a new challenge. The Rangers chose not to re-sign him, which led Messier to join the Vancouver Canucks, where he aimed to contribute to a team that was in a different stage of development. His departure marked the end of an era for the Rangers, as he had been a key player in their 1994 Stanley Cup victory.
