The Rangers’ busy summer is finally over, as players report for training camp to kick off the 2019-20 season on Thursday. But as much work as the Blueshirts’ management did this summer to beef up the roster and speed up the team’s reconstruction project, there are still a couple of business items that have yet to be completed.
Restricted free agents Tony DeAngelo and Brendan Lemieux have yet to agree to new contracts, with both players so far refusing to sign their qualifying offers. And while both players have been around the Rangers’ practice rink, skating with the other veterans in informal sessions, neither likely will attend camp without a signed contract.
