New York Rangers sign recently arrested centre Stoll

This signing for the Rangers overall is a very low risk, high reward signing. He appeared to be discovered by using benzoylmethylecgonine and MDMA despite the fact that getting into a swimming pool event with an informal end-of-the-season cookout along with Los Angeles teammates.

Stoll’s production has fallen in recent years. But New York likely added him to fortify its backbone down the middle – the Rangers lacked a true fourth-line center for most of previous year.

He was initially charged with felony possession of a controlled substance – which was cocaine. “It was and we moved on after that”.

Stoll provides the Rangers a prime faceoff man and penalty killer.

If it works out for both sides, the Rangers will have extra depth at center and Stoll will prove worthy of his second chance. Stoll registered a 51.0 face-off percentage with 592 face-off wins previous year.

Malone suited up for six games before being assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL on November 10, 2014. “Once we hit the ice, I don’t think it is going to be an issue”.

“Obviously everything that happened happened and I had to take care of that”. Rangers’ general manager Jeff Gorton said that he spent a lot of time with Stoll discussing the incident he was involved in and is confident he will bounce back based on how he has handled things thus far.

Prior to embarking on a successful professional career, the 6-foot-1 pivot was the first-overall selection of the Edmonton Ice at the 1997 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. He he won two Stanley Cups in the past four seasons with the Kings. While he’s no longer the player he once was, he brings a championship pedigree and, hopefully for the Rangers, a strong veteran presence.
