Welinski signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Rangers, per CapFriendly.
Scouting Report
Owns projectable size (6-1, 196 pounds), plus solid puck-moving ability. Has good offensive instincts and can produce good numbers at all lower levels. Could stand to shoot the puck more, as he has a tendency to pass up point shots from time to time. Also, he could stand to add more bulk to get stronger.
Long Range Potential: Solid, puck-moving defenseman with some upside.
