When the Rangers offered him a free agent contract this summer, Dryden Hunt didn’t think twice before accepting. For an undrafted guy like him, who had been up and down between the NHL and the minor leagues, a two-year, one-way deal worth an average of $762,500 per was a no-brainer.
"For guys like me, free agency isn't like this big, 'I can't wait to get to free agency,'’’ Hunt explained.
