Defenseman Adam Mcquaid has been a strong asset on the blue line for the New York Rangers. With his contract expiring at season’s end, he is slowly becoming an expendable commodity on a young rebuilding team.
McQuaid was acquired in a trade with the Boston Bruins when the Rangers sent Steven Kampfer, a fourth-round pick and a seventh-round (conditional) pick in the 2019 NHL Draft to Beantown. The 32-year-old defenseman had played his entire eight-year professional career with the Bruins, winning the Stanley Cup in 2011.
As a member of the Rangers defense, the rugged defenseman is averaging 17:45 of ice time in 34 games.
