Jeff Gorton and the New York Rangers completed a productive week by signing several players Friday afternoon as the NHL’s free agency period kicked off.
The Rangers made their big move on Tuesday night when they used their first overall pick to select Alexis Lafreniere. Gorton then used free agency to add some depth to the roster without paying the big dollars as the did last summer when they signed Artemi Panarin and Jacob Trouba.
From a position view, all three areas of the ice were addressed with the team signing three defensemen, four forwards, and a goaltender.
