New York Rangers: The best undrafted players in franchise history

The list of undrafted players who are in the Hall of Fame is impressive. It includes Adam Oates, Ed Belfour, Peter Stastny, Joe Mullen, Dino Ciccarelli and Borje Salming. Martin St. Louis finished his career as a Ranger, but in 1988 every NHL team thought that there were 252 other players who were better. It was Calgary who took the chance to sign St. Louis and he became a star in Tampa. Current undrafted NHL players include Sergei Bobrovsky, Tyler Johnson, Chris Kunitz, Nate Schmidt, Tyler Bozak and Artemi Panarin.

Every season the Rangers go out and sign undrafted players in the hopes of finding a diamond in the rough.
