We take a look at the Rangers’ final impending unrestricted free agent, Niko Mikkola! Mikkola shook off a slow start with the Blueshirts to become a fixture on the blue line, briefly pairing with Adam Fox, playing physical hockey and stabilizing the third pairing! However, we examine why his return to New York looks to be a bit of a longshot. If he’s not back, would the Rangers go with Zac Jones, Matthew Robertson, Ben Harpur or someone else?? Plus, pointing the draft spotlight at right winger Matthew Wood! Would the Rangers consider him if he falls to No. 23?? Episode 843.

Better value over all to keep Mikola and trade Jones for a couple of high draft choices. We don't need another small playmaking defenseman – we need a big strong defensive defenseman.
I'd take your argument for trading Miller and change it to trading Laffy. There's no path forward to success for him with the Rangers. It would be to his own good to move to a team that would give him the opportunity to develop into the star we all thought he was going to be. Trading him would open the space to keep Tarasenko and Mikola.
I hope we can get wood however I would be willing to sacrifice jones to move up for him
Mikkola was solid. I just hope that we find a way to fit Brennan Othmann in the lineup. I watched him play with the Petes and he's exactly what we need on this team
