The left side of the Rangers defensive depth chart was heavily reinforced during the second day of the NHL draft Saturday.   Five of the Blueshirts’ nine total draft picks this weekend were left-shot blueliners who will bolster the organization’s thin collection of defensive prospects. After taking Alberts Smits on Friday’s Day 1, the Rangers took four more at the same position throughout Day 2.
