Rangers Tried To Trade Kevin Shattenkirk During The Season

May 3, 2019 at 8:58 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 9 Comments

Kevin Shattenkirk’s time in New York has not gone as well as he or the Rangers had hoped.  Two years into his pricey contract, he found himself a healthy scratch at times last season.  Not surprisingly, Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports that the team tried to trade the 30-year-old earlier in the season while being willing to retain 50% of his contract but had limited interest.

While Shattenkirk has never been known as a defensive dynamo, he had been a consistent point producer, notching at least 43 points in five of the six seasons before signing with New York.  (The one season he didn’t was the lockout-shortened campaign.)  However, that level of production hasn’t followed him; Shattenkirk had just 28 points in 2018-19, the lowest of any full season he has played.

New York has Neal Pionk and Anthony DeAngelo returning for next season on the right side while Brendan Smith, who Brooks notes is a buyout candidate, is also on the roster.  The recently-acquired Adam Fox just put pen to paper on an entry-level deal and could very well push for a roster spot right away.  That could very well push Shattenkirk outside of the lineup on a regular basis which should only increase their efforts to move him.

Shattenkirk has two years remaining on his contract that carries a $6.65MM AAV although the salary is lower than that in each season.  While he hasn’t fit in well at all with the Rangers, there could be a team this summer that could show some interest depending on how things go on the trade market or in free agency.  Even if that happens, it appears that GM Jeff Gorton will be selling quite low to do so, a rough turn of events for their prized free agent signing just two years ago.

    What would they be trying to acquire while eating 50 percent of his salary? If they’re not looking for much and just trying to dump money, it’s pretty hard to believe there’s not much interest.

    Wonder if Vancouver and the Rangers match up. Shattenkirk for Loui Eriksson might make some sense

    If the Blackhawks can get him for just two years at 3.35 each year without having to give up more than like a 7th rounder or something, that might be worth it. They need help on defense, and there’s some upside there. Not a ton of risk since there’s only two more years and 3.35 isn’t prohibitive, especially now that they’ve got some cap flexibility.

    3.325 would be 50% salary retained but whatever. Close enough.

    As a Black Hawk fan my self maybe look at option for pairing on right side with Keith, Hawks need to look into 3rd pairing through young prospect , from Rockford , moving contract of Murphy out , will help in that , Shattenkirk at 3.3 as Connorsoxfan hit on maybe good option , might throw Kunitz in on deal with low draft pick
