Rangers need someone to play on their first pairing. And it should not be young defenders like they did (with Pionk) this year. Please do not let them play way over their head and ruin them. Of course you need to get rid of Gorton`s idiotic signings in Smith and Shattenkirk. (I even suggested that Shattenkirk went the other way....) But Gorton would probably not trade those two for peanuts. That would be admitting that he made some big mistakes. So he will probably let them play out their contracts and present it like they are important for the rebuild. And you will buy it I guess.
Man, I get where you're coming from, but this deal makes no sense.
We have plenty of decent veterans to show the kids how to win. We don't need to pull off some kind of blockbuster deal to bring in another high $$$ defender in a year where making the playoffs would be a big step. Or, frankly, if we're going to bring in the big name defender, why not pay nothing but cash and make it Karlsson?
Doesn't fit. Doesn't make sense to spend the assets.
