Six years ago, I wrote about the Rangers going after a certain free agent who had been away from the NHL for a while and was looking to come back from the KHL. The player in question was 39 at the time, and the potential for a reunion with the Rangers was appealing to many.
Now, six years later, I’m going to make an even better argument to go after that same free agent, who is now 44-years-old and is arguably a better fit for the Rangers than he was half a dozen years ago.
