The best way for the Rangers to fill their void at center is by trading with cap pressed teams. Look no further than the Red Wings. It's anticipated that after signing Athanasiou they will be over the cap. It's really very similar to the circumstances that sparked the bozak rumors. Anyway the rangers new abundance of puck moving defenseman makes Pionk expendable and a player of his profile is just the type of defenseman the wings are looking to add. Win for both teams. Rangers get their center that can put them in the contender conversation and the red wings get a promising puck moving defenseman and picks to help with what should be an inevitable rebuild. Yes, the wings likely first look to move helm or sheahan, but moving them will get them far less of a return (likely only a single pick in rounds 2 or 3). Nielsen is the only way they get a guaranteed puck moving defense prospect, along with picks. Yes rangers fans I know that adding Nielsen makes it basically impossible to make our "run" for Tavares next year but let's be real that was never gunna happen anyway
