New York Rangers: The dissapointment of Libor Hajek’s injury

Even though five games is an extremely minuscule sample size when it comes to evaluating talent, the play of Libor Hajek in that brief stint should have been encouraging. The New York Rangers originally acquired the defenseman as part of the Ryan McDonagh trade last year as the cornerstone of the package.

Even though the Czech got off to a rough start with the organization as a member of the Hartford Wolf Pack, he played well in limited NHL time. Granted, injuries are part of every NHL player’s career and something that happen with regularity, but it’s still disappointing that something out of Hajek’s control slammed the breaks on his development.
