In case you missed it, the Rangers decided to pass on signing two of their drafted prospects. The length of time given to sign drafted prospects varies by age, but it always expires on June 1 of that year. For the Rangers, June 1 came and went without contracts for Daniel Bernhardt or Dominik Lakatos.
Bernhardt, the Blueshirts’ second 4th round pick in 2015 (119th overall), was very unlucky. He’s dealt with major hip issues for quite some time and they never got fixed. His last appearance was in Sweden and it looks like he didn’t play at all this year.
