Smits or Robertson for Defense | New York Rangers News
Description
Rangers fans are buzzing about top pick Alberts Smits but agree he’s not ready for NHL duty yet—despite some scouts calling him more ready than the No. 1 pick. With the top five defensemen locked in, social media voters overwhelmingly chose Matthew Robertson as the sixth defenseman, giving Smits a solid second-place finish. Fans want Smits to get seasoning in the AHL before jumping into the big leagues, seeing Robertson as the safer, more proven option for opening night. Still, some fans push for Smits to make an early impact, especially after his European and international performances. The Rangers have depth on defense, which is a good problem—and the fanbase is loving the debate over how best to develop this elite talent.
