The New York Rangers have placed Swedish forward Malte Stromwall on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
The Rangers originally signed Stromwall in April of 2016, and the move was thought to be made because he was a teammate of Robin Kovacs, the Rangers’ former prospect drafted in the third round of the 2015 draft.
Stromwall was coming off a year that saw him score 25 goals and add 17 assists for 42 points in 49 games for AIK of the Allsvenskan league in Sweden.
