The deadline to opt-out of play for the 2020-21 NHL season is today at 5PM ET. No member of the New York Rangers is expected to opt-out, however I have reached out to several sources to confirm this morning.
I will update when info becomes available.
List of RTP player opt-outs
Prior to RTP action, six players opted out and one assistant coach. It is expected that this list could be even less this season.
- Travis Hamonic, CGY
- Mike Green, EDM
- Steven Kampfer, BOS
- Karl Alzner, MTL
- Sven Baertschi, VAN
- Roman Polak, DAL
- Tuukka Rask, BOS (during RTP)
- Mike Kitchen, FL (assistant coach)
