Has Boo Nieves reached the end of his time in New York?

Boo Nieves has spent five seasons in the New York Rangers organization, but he might not see a sixth. Nieves, 26, did not make the team’s extended playoff roster and is a pending unrestricted free agent, which makes his future in New York uncertain at best.

In 2019-20, Nieves played in just four games with the Rangers after appearing in 43 games with the big club in 2018-19. Greg McKegg, Phil Di Giuseppe, Micheal Haley, and Steven Fogarty all played more games with the Rangers this season. Like Nieves, McKegg and Fogarty are pending UFAs, they were also more productive — in the NHL and AHL, respectively.
