Another talented right handed defenseman seeming to not get a chance. 6'3, 200 lbs. Paliotta is a physical blueliner with good size and skating ability. Drafted as a shutdown defenseman, he blossomed as an offensive defenseman during his college career. Paliotta played a key role in the resurgence of the University of Vermont hockey program and has continued to provide offense in the AHL. .
Shows me the Rangers have zero confidence in Girardi. Signing 2, talented right handed defenseman that teams seemed to screw over like Stralman.
They need to rid themselves of Girardi and Staal. The question is whether there is any interest in either player.
