As the New York Rangers prepare for one of their most important drafts in team history, the last thing fans want to read about is another prospect failure. That’s just what happened on Tuesday as the team announced the official move to place Sergey Zborovskiy on unconditional waivers with the purpose to terminate his contract.
The 21-year-old defenseman was drafted by the Rangers in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft in the third round, 75th overall. Zborovskiy split last season between the ECHL Greenville Swamp Rabbits and the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack.
Zbrovskiy played in 47 games for Greenville in the ECHL with five goals and 12 assists and 10 games with Hartford in which he didn’t record a point and had 10 penalty minutes.
