Vladislav Gavrikov ‘massive upgrade’ on Rangers defense corps, former NHL enforcer believes

Count John Scott as a big fan of what the New York Rangers accomplished this offseason. The former NHL enforcer believes the Rangers vastly improved their defense corps with two major moves — trading K’Andre Miller and signing free-agent Vladislav Gavrikov.

In fact, Scott tied the pair of moves into one because one wouldn’t have happened without the other. So, he sees trading Miller to the Carolina Hurricanes as a 4-for-1 winner in the Rangers favor.

“That’s insane. I don’t think people realize how good that is,” Scott raved on a recent Dropping the Gloves podcast.
