The Rangers are going to have to figure out their third-pair defenseman with Braden Schneider.
Though the Rangers’ defense corps has largely been set in stone the past few seasons, the left side of the third pair has seen a plethora of players come and go.
Jones and Harpur are the only players on that list who are still under contract with the organization, and they’ll both be in the mix for the job, along with Gustafsson, when training camp rolls around in September.Gustafsson, however, may have a leg up on Jones and Harpur considering his preexisting connection with the Rangers new head coach Peter Laviolette.
Those 61 contests last season represented the most the Swede has played in the NHL since 2018-19, when he was in his third season with the Blackhawks, the only club Gustafsson has spent more than just a season with.Robert Sabo for NY Post The 6-foot, 197-pounder scored three goals and dished out 15 assists while averaging 16:13 of ice time per game.
The question is whether he wants to go with the offense-minded D-man he knows best, the young blueliner who is said to have offensive potential, or the big-bodied and hard-hitting defenseman.
