Tony Amonte was drafted by the New York Rangers, and when he arrived in the Big Apple he couldn’t get along with the new coach Mike Keenan. I know, what a shocker! Not too many young players ever did get along with Keenan throughout the years.
Amonte arrived in Chicago at the 1994 trade deadline which sent Brian Noonan and Stephane Matteau to the Rangers, and well Matteau did score a pretty famous goal for the Rangers in their run to the Stanley Cup.
But enough about that, Amonte had a scoring touch and when he arrived in Chicago was teamed up with Jeremy Roenick who were old high school buddies, and Amonte’s offensive skills started to shine in the Windy City.
