The Rangers have placed three players on waivers as part of their next round of cuts: forwards Jake Leschyshyn and Alex Belzile, and defenseman Ben Harpur. It is anticipated that all three will clear waivers by tomorrow afternoon and proceed to report to the Hartford Wolf Pack for their training camp. This indicates that the team is refining their roster as they prioritize competition for NHL positions.
None of the players—Leshyshyn, Belzile, or Harpur—are expected to be part of the NHL roster this season. With many more established players occupying forward and defensive slots, including Adam Edstrom and Jonny Brodzinski for the forwards, and Chad Ruhwedel and Connor Mackey for defense, these players find themselves at a disadvantage. It’s a clear signal of how the team's depth affects their chances of making the NHL.
