Rangers Sign Sam Klassen

The Rangers added some more defensive depth today, adding WHL undrafted defenseman Sam Klassen. In two full seasons in the WHL, Klassen has totaled 3-42-45 in 143 games, while racking up an impressive 195 PIMs. The stay-at-home defenseman was a +27 last season, a vast improvement over the -21 from two seasons ago in just 36 games.

Klassen was one of the non-roster invitees to the prospect camp held this month.

No word on the terms, it’s obviously an entry-level deal. I’m guessing he will be in Hartford/Charlotte next season. Klassen is 20, which I believe is old enough to play in the AHL/ECHL.
