New York Islanders Waive Yannick Rathgeb
The New York Islanders have decided to part ways with defenseman, Yannick Rathgeb. Rathgeb spent one-year in the Islanders system.
Who? I’m sure that was the reaction from many when they heard that the New York Islanders waived Yannick Rathgeb. If you rewind to last June, the Islanders gave Rathgeb a two-year $2.75 million entry-level deal.
He’s a right-handed shooting defenseman who was brought in for blueline depth in Bridgeport. This past year in the AHL, he played in just 32 games for the Sound Tigers. In those 32 games, he had nine points (4 goals, 5 assists).
