The New York Rangers will be signing Hobey Baker Finalist Patrick Newell, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
Newell, 23, is a left-handed winger who just completed his senior season at St. Cloud State. He led the number-one team in the nation in both goals (21) and points (47) over 39 games. He likes to shoot from everywhere in the offensive zone and puts the puck on net with frequency. From a bird’s-eye view, Newell is an intriguing prospect.
There are some questions about how his game will translate to the pro level, however.
