"Borgen hasn't necessarily been awful, he's just been inconsistent. If he were making less than his current $4.1 million, he’d be a fine depth defenseman."
"Borgen's metrics this year weren't terrible. He had a solid start to the year before he and the rest of the team fell off a cliff."
"Borgen isn't dead weight, mind you. He's a solid skater and pretty good at generating offensive chances, but he's miscast as a defensive defenseman."
"Borgen isn't a scrub. He's a pretty useful depth defenseman. The main issue is paying $4.1 million for the next four seasons."
The Rangers are considering trades as they retool their roster, with Braden Schneider and Vincent Trocheck being the most valuable assets. Will Borgen, despite being a solid skater and capable depth defenseman, is underperforming relative to his $4.1 million contract. His inconsistency and miscasting as a defensive player hinder his value. Although Borgen has potential in generating offensive chances, the Rangers should trade him to avoid the financial burden of his contract as they revamp their blue line.
