This afternoon prominent NHL insider Elliotte Friedman dropped the news that the New York Rangers are waiving Tyler Pitlick.
Pitlick (NYR) on waivers
In thirty-four games this season Pitlick was averaging just over 10 mins of ice time and has scored 1 goal and chipped in 3 assists. He has mostly played in a support role moving around the bottom half of the Rangers roster, plugging in where needed. With the excellent play of Brodzinski and the rest of the Rangers’ current third line, Pitlick’s potential role on the team was even further reduced.
