Just saw that the Rangers are buying out Kevin Shattenkirk. It seems like so many players careers take a nosedive when they go to play for the Rangers in Manhattan why do you all think that is? There is such a long list of players who have gone there and their careers have just tanked. Is it the pressure of playing in New York? The fact that they get overpaid and can’t live up to their Contracts? To many distractions in Manhattan?
