The New York Rangers were busy on the first day of free agency, but a change in the front office overshadowed all signings and trades for today. It has been speculated for a month now, but it has been officially announced that Jeff Gorton will replace Glen Sather as General Manager of the club. Slats will remain on as Team President, while Jim Schoenfeld has been promoted to Senior VP, Assistant General Manager, and GM of the Hartford Wolfpack.
Here is a quick round up of the moves Gorton made today:
- Signed winger Viktor Stalberg to a one-year, $1.1 million contract
- Signed defenseman Raphael Diaz to a one-year, $700k contract
- Traded a 2017 6th round pick to Nashville for goalie Magnus Hellberg
- Signed depth/AHL players Jayson Megna, Matt Lindblad, and Brian Gibbons
