Don’t discount Dryden Hunt this preseason for the Rangers

Dryden Hunt was an under the radar signing for the Rangers compared to the rest of their moves. Hunt, 25, plays both wings and comes with a very cheap cap hit of $762,500 over the next two seasons. When the Rangers made this signing, they were looking to replace Colin Blackwell, lost to expansion to Seattle. Hunt is primarily a bottom six winger who plays a solid defensive game. He’s a good skater who can move the puck and is tenacious on the forecheck. With the emphasis on being more aggressive in the offensive and neutral zone forecheck, Hunt checks a lot of boxes for the Rangers to round out that bottom six.
