The first day of free agency has come and gone, with the Rangers making four signings. They finalized the Patrik Nemeth contract before signing defenseman Jarred Tinordi, and forwards Greg McKegg and Dryden Hunt. On a day where the long term contracts were doled out to teams that will surely regret them, the Rangers were surprisingly quiet. Phillip Danault went to LA, Jack Eichel is still with Buffalo, and Ryan Strome is still with the Rangers. Quiet may be an understatement.
By not spending, Drury left the Rangers with many options and without any additional long term commitments.
