New York Rangers set to acquire this veteran free agent? Unexpected development
New York Rangers to make a last minute development and sign unrestricted free agent.
As the offseason slowly winds down there isn't many players remaining on the free agent market, but another surprising name has emerged that the Rangers could be interested in.
After the Rangers lost one of their best power play threats,
Erik Gustafsson to the Detroit Red Wings in free agency, Barrie could just well be the guy to fill that void.
Last season with the Nashville Predators, Barrie played 41 games and managed to tally 15 points (1 goal, 14 assists), but has built a reputation over his years in the NHL as a powerhouse defenseman, and could be a valuable addition to the Rangers power play.
However, time is running out for Barrie as his options for the upcoming NHL season are slim, if the Ranger decide not to make an offer, his best chances of securing a spot will likely requiring a Professional Tryout Offer (PTO) with a weaker team if he wants a top-six role.
