BRADY SKJEI Defenseman
The much anticipated rookie D-Man's jump to the NHL came during the 2015-2016 season in New York. Brought up as a fill in for injuries the former first round pick did impress in just 7 regular season games and during 5 games in the post season. We can easily see Skjei making the team for the 2016-2017 season and earning a spot in one of the bottom 6 pairings in what would be his first full season. A bright future awaits the 22 year old Skjei given the opportunity.

MAREK HRIVIK Left Wing
A Hartford Wolf Pack mainstay, Hrivik was recalled a few times during the season to fill in for injuries and as one of many "Black Aces" practice squad during the first round of the playoffs.

GRADE: Incomplete
JAYSON MEGNA Center/Wing

GRADE: Incomplete
DANIEL PAILLE Left Wing
Signed as a free agent during the season by the Rangers to bolster a struggling 4th line, Paille didn't do much to impress or show his worth in penalty killing situations and was soon relegated to Hartford of the AHL after 12 games with the Rangers. Paille was a minus 2 with no points during his tenure.
GRADE: F
JARRET STOLL Center
Signed as a free agent during the summer Stoll was given a shot at redeeming himself in the NHL as a Ranger.

GRADE: F
EMERSON ETEM Right Wing
Traded to the Rangers during the summer for fan favorite Carl Hagelin, Etem came to New York with huge question marks on his ability to be an NHL Player.
