Matt Beleskey and What He Can Bring to the Rangers Next Season

It was July 1st, 2015. Anaheim Ducks forward Matt Beleskey was coming off of a season where he set career highs in both goals (22), and points (32). It was known that the Anaheim Ducks did not want to commit to Beleskey long-term, which in hindsight, was probably a good idea, and many teams were ready to make offers. Matt Beleskey was set to receive a massive payday, and he did when the Boston Bruins inked him to a five-year, $19 million contract. Many thought that the Bruins got a bargain, as it was predicted that Beleskey would receive upwards of $5 million per season, but salary cap space comes at a price; term.
