Just like the New York Rangers, the Hartford Wolf Pack are looking to rebuild, too. They will attempt to make the playoffs for the first time in four years.

The New York Rangers have done next to nothing in free agency. They aren’t bringing back a single one of their UFAs and only brought in one other UFA; Fredrik Claesson. Other than that, they’ve re-signed RFA Vladislav Namestnikov, tendered all their RFAs except for Adam Tambellini and have been involved in trade talks with the Senators.

The Hartford Wolf Pack, on the other hand, have been busy. After missing the playoffs for a third straight season because of a dreadful start, the Pack are trying to make a big comeback with a revamped group in 2018-19.

Recently, they have been active on the free agent market, bringing in a few different players to surround their young core with. And finally after all these years, they signed a full-time goalie coach. They were the only team without one prior to the signing.

Let’s take a look at some of the newest Wolf Pack players and what to expect for them going forward.
