Rangers Re-Sign Defenseman Corey Potter

The New York Rangers have announced that they have re-signed defenseman Corey Potter to a new contract. Exact length and financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In five games last season with the Rangers, his first in the NHL, Potter scored one goal and one assist for two points. He also played in 67 games with the Rangers’ AHL affiliate in Hartford last season, scoring 10 goals and 22 assists for 32 points and 82 penalty minutes. Not a bad signing for the Rangers, as Potter is a big defenseman who plays with toughness and has offensive potential from the back end. If the Rangers give him a chance, he could develop into a top-six defenseman with the team.
