This week, the New York Rangers took advantage of their second buyout window to unload Kevin Shattenkirk‘s contract. The Blueshirts will carry some dead cap space for the next four years, but now have more room to help sign restricted free agents Tony DeAngelo and Brendan Lemieux.
It’s hard to not feel bad for Shattenkirk here.
The New Rochelle native took a hometown discount of four years and $26.6 million to play with the team he rooted for as a child. Unfortunately, things just did not work out for him as a Ranger.
