This has been a relatively quiet season in terms of trades and signings for Jeff Gorton. I am also including the offseason leading up to 2020-21. There was no big free agent signing like Artemi Panarin in 2019-2020, but the Rangers GM made a series of low key acquisitions. Three of them have played a huge role in helping keep the Blueshirts treading water through struggles and injuries.
Kevin Rooney has been a steady effective player
When Jeff Gorton signed 27 year-old Kevin Rooney I was immediately enthused. The former rival with the NJ Devils was a tough and gritty player with no qualms about throwing the gloves to stand up for himself or a teammate.
