The fate of Rangers’ restricted free agents Alexis Lafreniere and K’Andre Miller should be known relatively soon.
after trading up to do so at the 2023 NHL Draft, since the Boston College commit played youth hockey with his son, Luke Drury.
“It was fun just to be a dad and watch and see these kids grow together as a group,” he said. “Certainly saw Drew and all the other kids on that team that are going DI. … Our scouts had him targeted a lot higher in the draft. So as the draft was rolling through and he was looking like a possibility, we tried to trade up by pick 80 to get him.
“Got that close and we had Pittsburgh circled as a team that were ahead of us and [might] take him. We didn’t want to let that happen.” Excited to get him. We think he’s on a real good trajectory with two years at the program, having a lot of individual and collective success there.Of the Rangers who became unrestricted free agents — Ryan Carpenter, Jaroslav Halak, Patrick Kane, Niko Mikkola, C.J. Smith, Vladimir Tarasenko and Tyler Motte — only two found homes Saturday.
Mikkola signed a three-year deal that carries a $2.5 million cap hit with the Stanley Cup runners-up, the Panthers. He also earned a $500,000 signing bonus, per PuckPedia.Share this article:
