The article discusses the potential defensemen targets for the New York Rangers in the upcoming free agency, mainly focusing on Ivan Provorov and Vlad Gavrikov. It suggests that if the Rangers use their cap space after trading Chris Kreider and K'Andre Miller, they may end up signing overpaid players. Although Gavrikov could be a suitable fit at a reasonable contract, Provorov's inflated salary would jeopardize the team's financial flexibility. The analysis expresses concern about the adequacy of the potential defensive lineup, predicting continued challenges under GM Chris Drury's management.
If the Rangers do trade Miller and sign Provorov, the Rangers are looking at Soucy-Fox, Provorov-Borgen, and Vaakanainen-Schneider as their defense next season.
Only Gavrikov makes sense and only at EH's projected contract. If he gets Chychrun money, then it's Jacob Trouba all over again.
