The 2003–04 New York Rangers season was their seventy-eighth in the National Hockey League. The team finished with one of the worst records in the league despite bringing in free agents like Jaromir Jagr. The team would eventually trade away most of its major acquisitions, including their longtime defensive stalwart Brian Leetch. This would prove to be the final season for team captain Mark Messier.
