New York Rangers make an unexpected transaction as they assign veteran to the Hartford Wolf Pack

The New York Rangers have just recently announced that veteran defenseman has been assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL.

New York Rangers PR team on X, formerly known as Twitter, as revealed that 34-year old defenseman Chad Ruhwedel has been assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Also confirmed by the Hartford Wolf Pack on X as well:

Throughout the New York Rangers first 24 games, Chad Ruhwedel has only managed to appear in one of those game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Where he went pointless while playing 14:04 minutes. However during his time with the Wolf Pack, he has recorded two assists in seven games.

However, a move like this has raised a few questions amongst fans and many alike, one being what's to come following this transaction?

The Rangers don't play until Friday December 6th, so assigning a player to the AHL three days before doesn't make much sense.

Unless the New York Rangers are planning on shaking up the roster even more or they are just banking cap space until then, but only time will tell.
