Following a two-and-a-half-week training camp and six-preseason-game slate, the New York Rangers have their team.
David Quinn has said all along that players would have to compete at a very high level to make the team.
With that, the Rangers announced Filip Chytil and Vitali Kravtsov would be among the players who will start the year with the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack. Ryan Lindgren, Vinni Lettieri and Igor Shesterkin were all assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL.
Boo Nieves was placed on waivers for the purpose of the assignment.
With the official roster now completed, the second-overall pick from the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Kaapo Kakko, will make his Rangers debut at Madison Square Garden on Oct.
