The New York Rangers are in the final stages of finalizing their opening night roster, and today announced the assignment of forward Gustav Rydahl to the AHL.
Rydahl joined the organization as a free agent in the offseason from Färjestad BK of the SHL, and during his four preseason games tallied an assist. The Rangers added Rydahl to give them an additional option to challenge for a bottom six spot.
They brought in Ryan Carpenter to do the same, but the difference between the two players is that the Rangers can send Rydahl directly to Hartford as he’s exempt from waivers at this time.
