The Rangers placed goalie Dylan Garand and forward Taylor Raddysh on waivers as they finalize their roster for the season. New York is taking a risk with the 24-year-old Garand, who showed promise in three NHL appearances last season, because the team believes he needs regular No. 1 goalie work in the AHL to continue developing. The Rangers signed Joonas Korpisalo to fill the backup role, while placing Raddysh on waivers could open roster spots for Matt Rempe and Jaroslav Chmelar. Both players could be claimed by another team before the Rangers can assign them to Hartford.
Key Points
1
In his three NHL appearances last season, Garand went 2-0-1 with a 1.62 goals-against average and a .948 save percentage.
2
Garand’s AHL season with Hartford was uneven; he appeared in 36 regular-season games.
3
Raddysh, 28, played 68 games for the Rangers last season and appeared likely to be a healthy scratch or bottom-six forward this year.
4
The Rangers were expected to learn by 2 p.m. Monday whether either player had been claimed on waivers.
