Mackenzie Skapski

After putting up stellar numbers in 14-15 with the Wolf Pack and in his two games with the Rangers, Skapski’s career has spiraled a bit downhill.

After having his hip surgery in the summer of 2015, Skapski has not been the same goalie. Let’s look at this year alone and it will tell you everything you need to know. in 13 games in Hartford, Skapski’s GAA was 4.73 and his save percentage was at .856! Granted, the team around his was bad, but the red head stunk up the joint even more.

He was sent to the ECHL and while his numbers were better, they weren’t anything to make you want to bring him back. He posted a 3.38 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

Even though it seems like he’s been around forever, Skapski is only 22-years-old. He’s got plenty of time to right his ship and he does, he will be one hell of an asset for the Rangers going forward.

The Verdict: Re-sign Skapski.
