Jeff Gorton and his Rangers have eight free agents at the close of the 2020 season. Three are unrestricted and five are restricted with arbitration rights. Let’s take a quick look at them and make a prediction for each.
Phil Di Giuseppe, LW, 26 years-old, $700,000 AAV (RFA)
Di Giuseppe did a solid job late in the season and certainly earned himself another two-way deal. He put up four points in 20 games this past year and showed the ability to forecheck well.
Prediction: 1 year (two-way) deal, $800,000 AAV
Micheal Haley, FWD, 34 years-old, $700,000 AAV (UFA)
Haley was a tough competitor when he wasn’t injured.
