Moments ago, the Rangers announced that they have signed prospect Tarmo Reunanen to an entry-level contract.
Reunanen had himself a fantastic season with Lukko of the Finnish Liiga, registering 25 points (6G, 19A) in 58 games. His 25 points have him tied for 13th place all-time amongst U21 defensemen in Liiga history. In addition, only three other U22 Finnish defensemen had produced more in a single season (Sami Vatanen, Sami Niku, and Esa Lindell).
Tarmo Reunanen is a smooth skating left-handed defenseman who isn’t afraid to join the rush. As a junior player, he was coming through the ranks with TPS and the Finnish national team in different age groups.
