In recent days the Rangers have terminated the contract of Sean Day and did not sign Nico Gross allowing him to go back into the draft. Both prospects were drafted in 2016 and 2018 respectively. In recent years the Rangers have added Jacob Trouba, Tony DeAngelo, Adam Fox, and Ryan Lindgren through trades. The crowd on the Rangers blue-line is growing.
Jacob Trouba came at the steepest price in the way of a 1st round pick and Neal Pionk. Tony DeAngelo was basically a throw in when the Rangers traded Derek Stepan for Arizona’s 2016 1st round pick (Lias Andersson).
