Former Rangers captain and MSG broadcaster Dave Maloney joins Jim Cerny to break down the Rangers’ wild start to the offseason — including whether trading Vincent Trocheck now was the best time, what Pavel Dorofeyev’s $77 million deal means for the retool, and why Braden Schneider’s contract might be the most important storyline of the summer.
Jim and Dave dig into the remade second defense pairing with Pederson and Jersey, the surprising money behind the Yaroslav Korpisalo goaltending trade, the Rangers’ draft-day trade-up for the fifth pick, and what losing Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin on the same night really cost the team last season. Plus, Dave previews his upcoming induction of his brother Don into the New York State Hockey Hall of Fame and the Growing Shoulder Check charity event on July 30th at Sacred Heart University. #NYRangers #RinkRap #DaveMaloney #NHL #newyorkrangers
