On Thursday. April 9th, Boston University defenseman David Farrance announced through BU’s twitter account that he would be staying for his senior season of college rather than make the jump to the NHL. The 2020 Hobey Baker finalist ranked first in the NCAA in points by a defenseman this season with 43 points (14 goals, 29 assists) and had ascended the ranks of defensive prospects. But wait… he’s a Nashville Predators pick, 92nd overall back in 2017, so why should Rangers fans care? Because if David Farrance decides to not sign with Nashville this upcoming season, he will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2021 and the New York Rangers should be all over him and if we go by recent history, signs show they will be.
Should David Farrance be on the Rangers radar?
