While the right side of the Rangers defense corps has been completely made over in preparation for the upcoming 2019-2020 NHL season, there’s been little to no activity surrounding the Rangers’ left defensemen this summer.

Now add in the uncertainty around Tony DeAngelo’s new contract after a breakout season; it’s become unclear to many Ranger fans what their depth on the right side will be when the puck drops on the 2019-2020 NHL Regular Season.
