Over the past couple of seasons, I have been a huge supporter of keeping veteran defenseman Kevin Klein on the roster while many other Rangers bloggers were completely against it.
It never made sense to me. Klein wears his heart on his sleeve. He put up two straight seasons with 9 goals and 17 assists, both career highs and played solid defense night in and night out for two and a half seasons. The cherry on top is his contract, one that pays him $2.9 million annually and expires at the end of the 17-18 season.
