from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
When I say I want two young defensemen on the team, I’m thinking of them as six-seven,” Tortorella said hours before the Blueshirts dropped last night’s preseason opener to the Bruins, 2-1, at the Garden.
“I think it’s asking way too much of rookie defensemen to play them together as a unit. Plus, the way we’re set up with Marc [Staal] and Danny [Girardi] being young enough themselves, I’m not sure it would be best to add two more kids to that mix, at least at the start.
“What I’m hoping is that a veteran defenseman might become available as things shake out during camp who we can have on our third pair with one of our kids, while we carry another as a seventh,” Tortorella said. “If it works out that a young player were sitting out too much, we’d send him to Hartford [AHL] to play games, but having kids at six-seven is the way I’d like to start, if possible.”
