The New York Rangers have nine draft picks playing in European Leagues, all in Sweden and FInland. When the Covid-19 pandemic spread to Europe, the leagues there didn’t hesitate to cancel their seasons.
Unlike the NHL, they didn’t announce any kind of suspension, they cancelled the rest of their games and any postseason play. In 2020, no league championships will be awarded.
The sudden cancellation of hockey has to be a disappointment for the Rangers’ prospects, especially for several who were playing well enough to warrant a potential Entry Level Contract or at least an invitation to training camp.
