The New York Rangers are ready to see what they've got from one of the pieces they acquired in the blockbuster J.T. Miller trade.
The Rangers have signed defenceman Jackson Dorrington to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Sunday. Dorrington will report to the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack on an amateur tryout for the rest of the season.
The financial terms of the deal were not reported.
Dorrington, 20, has played his last three seasons at Northeastern University in the NCAA. He has two goals and 13 assists for 15 points this season.
Selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the sixth round, 176th overall, at the 2022 NHL Draft, Dorrington's draft rights were traded to the Rangers as part of the move that also sent Miller to the Big Apple.
