In case you missed it Swedish goaltender Magnus Hellberg has signed in the KHL with Kunlun Red Star.
Hellberg enjoyed the lion’s share of the starts in the AHL last season with the Hartford Wolf Pack. He posted a .903 save percentage and a 2.95 goals against average to go with a 12-15-5 record. Those numbers might not jump off the page, but they were significantly better than those posted by rookie Brandon Halverson.
Losing Hellberg isn’t a devastating blow in terms of talent lost, but it could be a costly loss for the Rangers in regards to the team’s goaltending pipeline - especially for the 2017-18 season.
