Rangers sign NCAA center & defensive specialist Justin Richards

The New York Rangers are keeping busy, today signing their third college free agent, center Justin Richards from the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Richards just concluded his junior year for the Bulldogs and he fills a number of needs for the Blueshirts if he can make the jump to the NHL.

Extremely honored to have signed my first NHL contract with the @NYRangers ! Thank you to @UMDMensHockey my coaches, teammates, and everyone else who made my experience in Duluth so special. Very excited for this next chapter! https://t.co/CgGGpBIQJh
