This signing adds another physical presence to the Rangers' lineup, complementing 6-foot-8 forward Matt Rempe. While Rempe is known for his physicality, Roobroeck brings notable offensive talent to the team.
Whether Roobroeck will start next season in the Rangers' lineup remains to be seen, but his potential suggests he could make an immediate impact.
