The Rangers have opted not to sign Ryan Mantha, Keegan Iverson, and Richard Nejezchleb, who were all mid-round selections in 2014.
The Rangers have lost their exclusive rights to 2014 draft selections Ryan Mantha, Keegan Iverson, and Richard Nejezchleb. The deadline to sign all 2014 draft selections drafted out of the Canadian Hockey League was today (June 1st) at 5pm EST.
Ryan Mantha, taken in the fourth round (104th overall), is perhaps the surprise of the group. Mantha was a solid, though unspectacular defenseman for a very good Niagara IceDogs team. He fits the general "projectable" mold of defensemen that scouts love.
