The players are definitely getting treated differently within this organization.
It was designed circular to foster team bonding, so no player feels left out by being placed in the corners and away from the rest of the team. The old dressing room, the corner stalls couldn't see the tvs or the white boards too well either. The Rangers new dressing room is also designed circular.

“It’s state of the art,” said defenceman Kevin Bieksa. “They went above and beyond here and did a great job. I also think they did some research into the circular shape and found that, if you don’t have a square room, you can’t put Darcy Hordichuk in a corner.”

“Obviously this is really top of the line,” added captain Roberto Luongo. “Everybody can see each other and everywhere in the room and I think that was the whole point of it. It’s really nice.”
