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

3. Ryan Spooner

Ryan Spooner was one of the most surprising players to join the Rangers roster at the deadline this season. His playmaking ability made a big impact in the 20 games he played for the New York Rangers, recording four goals and12 assists for 16 points over this span.

In his near seamless transition on to the roster, Spooner proved he would be a great addition to the Rangers next season. He is the strong, skilled playmaking forward that the Rangers desperately needed.

His playing style encourages those around him to look to move the puck too. Specifically, he and Kevin Hayes jived well together, having complementary skill, vision and ability.

However, Spooner also has the potential to generate some good return on the market, especially considering the way he played at the end of the 2017-18 season.

Again, the Rangers will have to determine how much they can see Spooner as a piece in the future. Based on what we saw from him, he definitely has a shot to be back on the roster next year.
