Ryan Spooner has been brilliant in his brief tenure with the New York Rangers. Since swapping jerseys Spooner has put up 13 points in 10 games on Broadway; so it’s safe to say he’s been something of a hit. But Spooner wasn’t the only NHL forward the Rangers acquired in the Rick Nash trade.
Matt Beleskey is not the first player who failed to live up to a big contract he signed as a free agent, and he won’t be the last. After posting 22 goals in 65 games in 2014-15 with the Anaheim Ducks, Beleskey signed a five-year, $19 million contract with the Bruins.
