With a strong 2018-19 season that saw him start in New York before joining the Wolf Pack and recording 48 points (23G, 25A) despite only playing in 48 games, many thought that Vinni Lettieri would finally push himself over that hump from being a borderline NHL player to being a sure bet on a Rangers roster. Unfortunately for Lettieri, he found himself to be one of the last players to be sent down to Hartford. With the likes of Greg McKegg and Micheal Haley having made the Rangers over him while in the middle of a rebuild, it seemed clear that Vinni Lettieri would come into this season having to prove himself once again while also showing the Rangers that he deserved to be in the NHL.
