When the Rangers bought out Kevin Shattenkirk, it’s safe to say we weren’t big fans.

It appears that is the only reason behind the move –don’t give me that “too many RD” stuff, you can move someone to the left side– and I guess I’m fine with that. In a season filled with great moves for the future, this is a blip in the grand scheme of things.
