Here’s a quote from Scott Gomez, on the Rangers’ official website, about why he chose the Rangers:

“New York offered everything — the city, the atmosphere, everything you would want,” said Gomez. “But most of all I think this team is ready to win, you can just feel the buzz around them and that starts with the goaltending, I think. Playing against them they just have so much confidence. Out of the other teams I felt like this was the place I could win in.”
