New York Rangers: A definitive ranking of the restricted free agents

7. Rob O’Gara

Defenseman Rob O’Gara came to New York after a deal at the trade deadline sent Nick Holden to the Boston Bruins.

O’Gara had little impact in the 30 games he appeared in late this season. The 24-year-old is a decent skater but he showed a lack of vision in transition and displayed questionable positioning on the defensive end in a majority of his appearances.

He had three assists (two primary) in these 30 games and registered a Corsi-for just over 40. That is a pretty dismal number for someone who spent time as a part of the second defensive pair.

Perhaps this is in part due being a newcomer on the roster and perhaps with the right partner, O’Gara could be a more effective player. However, if the Rangers are looking to add depth on the defensive end, O’Gara is someone who will require a good deal of attention to be successful.
