The New York Rangers have made the shocking decision not to extend a qualifying offer to either Arthur Kaliyev, a waiver claim from Los Angeles, or defenseman Zac Jones.
Zac Jones had made headlines earlier in the year with his statement of frustration with the team and the lack of time needed on the ice to prove himself to the team. He would find himself playing on the ice later in the year, but it apparently wasn't good enough.
This past season Zac Jones would only play 46 games with the Rangers and managed to score 11 points (1-10).
