Defense Not As Deep As It Looks
Looking at the Rangers roster, you might be mistaken in thinking that they have plenty of depth on the blueline. The team now has ten blue-liners with NHL experience on the roster, and a further three who’ll be under contract this year.
The starting six – barring injuries – looks pretty much set for the start of the season. Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh, Michael Del Zotto and John Moore are expected to be rejoined by Marc Staal and Anton Stralman, who both finished the season with injuries.
