NHL Free Agency is less than a day away. Teams can officially start signing free agents at 12 PM ET. It is expected that Chris Drury will announce the they have inked veteran defenseman Patrik Nemeth to a 3-year deal in the neighborhood of $2.5M AAV per Larry Brooks. He was one of several defensemen we had targeted on our initial list here.
The Rangers currently have plenty of cap space to play with, but must also sign RFA’s Igor Shesterkin, Filip Chytil, and Libor Hajek. There’s also the possibility of trades which will impact what the Blueshirts will do.
