The first piece of news today doesn’t seem immediately Lightning related. According to multiple reports, The New York Rangers will buy out the final two years of defender Kevin Shattenkirk’s contract. Things never worked out for him in New York and despite the buyout making little financial sense, the Rangers moved forward with it anyway.
And while the buyout itself is interesting, the more fun question is where will he go next? Despite a rough couple seasons in the Big Apple, Shattenkirk should still draw a good amount interest.
