Rangers Defensemen Battle for Roster Spot | New York Rangers News
Description
Two young Rangers defensemen, Scott Morrow and Vincent Iorio—both 23, drafted in 2021, and set to turn 24 in November—are poised for a pivotal decision as training camp nears. Though both received qualifying offers in June and remain unsigned, their NHL futures hang in the balance. Morrow, the higher pick, struggled for ice time and missed key power play opportunities despite flashes of potential. Iorio, claimed off waivers, played solidly but went pointless with the Rangers while winning two Calder Cups in the AHL. With five defensemen already locked in, only one or two roster spots may be available—and both face stiff competition. If they clear waivers, they’ll likely head to Hartford for development, though a trade before camp remains a possibility if the Rangers want to avoid losing them to other teams.
