You bring up an interesting point.
This team will always have the history of the Expos. Despite not being in Montreal, current players will be competeing with former Expos for team records.
The Browns thing was a special case scenario.
Why should the Rangers have to give up their history? Obviously Washington didn't do enough to keep the Senators the first two times they were there, why should they have to erase their team records? Come up with something creative. When Colorado got an NHL team back(the Avalanche) they got a new name, they didn't resurrect the name "Rockies", because i'm sure the Devils still hold the rights to that.

I'm not suggesting that the Texas Rangers loose their team records. The Rangers don't have access to the team records of the firss.t Washington Senators. The Baltimore Orioles don't have access to the records of the first Baltimore Orioles. The Expos should not have access to the team records of the second Washington Senators. Only the Rangers should have that.
If the Rangers' team history can deal with a Washington Senators team that existed before that franchise, they should be able to deal with a Washington Senators team that comes into being soon.
