Magnus Hellberg

Interesting bit of news here, as Fan Rag Sports is reporting that goalie Magnus Hellberg has signed with the KHL’s HC Kunlun Red Star. The former second round pick by Nashville was acquired by the Rangers in July of 2015 for a 2017 6th round pick (this year’s pick). Hellberg spent two years with the Rangers organization, serving primarily as a starter in Hartford and playing just three games in New York.

This leaves the Rangers with three goalies in the minors: Mackenzie Skapski, Brandon Halverson, and Chris Nell. Even if the Rangers do trade Antti Raanta, it’s unlikely any of this trio will be a full time backup. Expect the Rangers to sign a free agent AHL goalie to bounce between Hartford and Greenville.
