Last night, the New York Rangers signed defenseman Libor Hajek to a one-year, two-way contract.
Hajek, 23, was the 37th overall pick (2nd round) of the 2016 NHL Draft. He was acquired by the Rangers in the trade that sent Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Since joining the Rangers, the Czech defenseman has failed to live up to expectations.
