Rangers let Riley Hughes and Eric Ciccolini go
The Rangers drafted Riley Hughes in 2018 (7th round, 216 overall) as he prepared for his college career at Northeastern University.
In 118 games, the winger amassed 11 goals and 21 assists for 32 points. His father Kent Hughes is the current GM of the Montreal Canadiens. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the 23 year-old lands in the Habs organization.
Meanwhile, the Blueshirts selected Eric Ciccolini with the 205th pick of the 2019 Draft (7th round). The now 22 year-old played college hockey at the University of Michigan recording 15 goals and 19 assists for 34 points in 85 matches.
