The 2018-19 season will be focused on a full rebuild, but the defense should relatively remain the same. The primary pieces are in place at the moment and the only real change is those coming back from injury. So without further ado, here is my prediction of the 2018-19 New York Rangers defensemen.
Gilmour – Shattenkirk
Skjei – DeAngelo
Staal – Pionk
Kampfer
First Pairing
John Gilmour and a healthy Kevin Shattenkirk can bolster the current offensively deficient blue line.
Gilmour has been used a lot in offensive zone starts with 57.
