Potvin Takes A Shot At Rangers “D”

from the Palm Beach Post,
Can the Rangers’ “D” get it done? The additions of Chris Drury and Scott Gomez give New York the league’s most potent offense and Henrik Lundqvist is solid in goal. But a defense that wasn’t very good last year looks even more shaky after losing Tom Poti and Karel Rachunek.
“It’s brutal,” said Panthers broadcaster Denis Potvin (who, truth be told, never will be accused of being a Rangers fan). “They’ll be OK in goal, but the defense is a big issue.”
“There seems to be an imbalance there, but some people in the know say it’s not as bad as people think,” national broadcaster Bill Clement added.
more NHL talk… including the Panthers, Flyers, Thrashers, Ducks and some Calder talk…

Poti played for the Islanders last season, not the Rangers.

Poti played for the Islanders last season, not the Rangers.
And Rachunek was easily their worst defenseman (despite most fans’ assertion that it was Malik).
They got BETTER by losing him.

Great Assessment there Potvin. Maybe he should read what folks at the Traverse City Tourney are saying about the Ranger prospects. Granted, there is not a SuperStar on D, but there is depth and cap flexibility should this be an issue.
