- On Kakko, “He’s still day to day, certainly close, good to have him back out there. It was his first time on the ice, so we are going to put him in the game at the right time, for a variety of reasons.”
The Rangers have signed minor league defenseman Mason Geertsen to a two-year, two-way contract. (CapFriendly)
Geertsen, the #93 pick in 2013 by Colorado, played 60 games in Hartford last season.
He is 6-4, 205 and is a left shot defenseman.
His cap hit is $725,000 if he plays in the NHL. (CapFriendly)
3/3/21 | The Rangers have signed #19th overall pick Braden Schneider to his entry-level contract. (CapFriendly)
The contract will begin next season and his cap hit will be $925,000, but he will carry with him potential performance bonuses of $400,000.
The Rangers tried to get Schneider signed prior to this season, but were not able to.
Schneider is currently with Brandon in the WHL and his season is slated to begin on 3/12.
David Quinn met with the media on MSG following the Rangers win over Buffalo and said:
- On the game, “I thought we were sluggish, really, even though we got that early goal. We didn’t look sharp for the most part, but I liked how we managed to understand what we were dealing with going to the third period. We managed the game and some nights you aren’t going to have it and you gotta find a way to win and we did a good job of that tonight. The second period, the end of the second, got squirrely and away from us, we were lucky to get out of there up 3-2. I thought we did some better things in the third to give ourselves a chance to win.
