Rick Carpiniello tweeted that the New York Rangers have invited Micheal Haley to training camp. While the team is in serious cap trouble, the addition of someone like Haley does make some sense. Even if he doesn’t make an impression, it’s a no brainer to invite players to training camp as the Rangers have nothing to lose.
First, some background. Haley is a tough guy who led the league in penalty minutes while with Florida in 2017-18. He’s certainly not a goal scorer, with careers highs of 3 goals and 12 points. He has played parts of eight seasons in the NHL including a brief nine game stint with the Rangers in 2012-13.
