Last Friday, the Hartford Wolfpack released its roster for the upcoming season. One New York Rangers prospect that was missing from the Rangers AHL affiliate was 2015 second round pick Robin Kovacs.
Kovacs was selected 62nd overall that year, and despite being labeled undersized, his speed was something to keep an eye on. However, the only thing that was fast was his exit from the team in the pre-season.
Kovacs was sent down and reportedly didn’t show up to Hartford for camp. This led the Rangers to place Kovacs on unconditional waivers, marking a short stint for Kovacs in the Rangers organization. Kovacs only had two goals and 10 assists for 12 points in 72 games.
Kovacs didn’t pan out and is another failed pick from the very poor 2015 NHL entry for the Rangers. While they had some good finds in the later rounds, they failed to take advantage of their higher selections. Let’s take a look at the rest of the players that were drafted, and see how they panned out.
