Drafted in 2013 by the New York Rangers, Adam Tambellini was a pleasant pick for the New York Rangers. His selection provided a potential increase in size at the center position.
Son of Steve Tambellini and brother of Jeff Tambellini, the Rangers had high hopes for Adam. Steve had put up over 300 points in 500 career NHL games. Jeff had performed a little less successfully at the NHL level, however, Jeff played a few solid seasons in Europe.
The chances in the NHL for his relatives is always a case for a player to be a potential player in the league.
