The New York Rangers appear they won’t be overly busy at the upcoming 2022 NHL Draft. Day One of the Draft is July 7 with Day Two on July 8 at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The city had been scheduled to host in 2020, but the event was held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic instead, as it was in 2021.

Alexandar Georgiev has been looking for an opportunity to be a starter for quite some time. This summer it appears he will get it one way or another. On July 13th, the 26 year-old netminder becomes a restricted free agent with salary arbitration rights. He is owed a qualifying offer of $2.65M which is not a number the New York Rangers can afford due to limited cap space and a need to sign several key free agents.

Igor Shesterkin is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner after an amazing season with the New York Rangers in 2021-22. From his stellar record of 36-13-4 with six shutouts to his league leading stats of a .935 SV% and 2.07 GAA, Shesty was unreal. The 26 year-old goalie won the award...

The New York Rangers lost the series to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference. It was the team’s 20th game in 40 days and it took its toll on the team. “When you go 7 [games twice] there’s not much break and guys don’t get a chance to heal much,” Gerard Gallant said after being eliminated. It made it tough but we battled hard and did the best we could. They’re a big defensive team. They make it tough on you and box you out really well. Our forwards were trying to battle to get there and it’s fatigue. There’s no doubt in my mind.”
