New York Rangers fans headed into the first day of free agency hoping that Buffalo Sabres captain and star center Jack Eichel would be announced as the newest member of the team. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.
They didn’t really do anything huge on Wednesday, but did sign some nice depth players.
The signing of LHD Patrik Nemeth has been the Rangers’ biggest acquisition move so far this offseason.

Heading into next season, the Rangers were keen on adding a veteran LHD and Nemeth is exactly what they need.
