The 21-year-old defenseman signed his entry-level contract with the Rangers last year and played on loan with HC Lugano for the last season. While he has this agreement in place with the Bianconeri until the end of the 2015-16 season, he is of course free to join the Rangers. In 36 games for HCL, he has scored 20 points (five goals, 15 assists). (mso)
