5. Jeff Woywitka

Woywitka only played 27 games for the Rangers back in 2011-2012 when Marc Staal was recovering from a concussion he sustained at the end of the previous season. Woywitka, for all intents and purposes, wasn’t dreadful, but he certainly wasn’t anybody the team needed to worry about keeping.

Surprisingly, Woywitka had a decent offensive game but defensively he was anything but stout. He was a solid skater but he was often physically outmatched by opposing players. He was pretty soft for a guy with a 6-foot-3 frame. After a couple of seasons as a number seven defenseman around the league on teams like St, Louis and Dallas, Broadway was his final stop in the NHL.

After playing in both the AHL and the DEL (a German hockey league) over the next four years, Woywitka retired after the 14-15 season.
