Ek-The last thing the Rangers need is an offensive right-handed defenseman.

On the right side they currently have:

Fox
Shattenkirk
DeAngelo
Pionk

The last 2 are RFA's. They need someone on the right side who is a shut-down/PK/protect a lead kind of guy. That's not Karlsson.

Would love to see them trade for Trouba, but it might cost too much and they'd have to be sure they could sign him long term.

I only see 2 of the 4 u list as there when camp starts

say good bye to Pionk , shatty too many too good to stay
E K is world class & if you saw his carry the Otts to finals on one heel or leg

all it takes is $$ & his want to play with Hank , the rest takes care of itself

Only 28 going 29 this is Prime for a D & if he gets healthy this summer

he willl be a major spear hd for the NYR along with Panarin & a top notch center

in a trade ,the Big blue can be back a year early and for years to come

Miller & Lundquist are next 20- 21 ,

19 -20
Shey Karlson
Hijak Fox
Rykov D'Angelo
Staal as 7 man & asst to youth move

Smith out in trade or buyout

I want Trouba but at what cost? Pionk ,#1 (20) ,Lias ? u do it ?
I settld on E K cause we need a big trade for a top center to run with Zbad

Pionik and Anderson wouldn't be close to getting Trouba.
