In case you haven’t heard, Brian Leetch announced Adam Graves number will be retired next by the Rangers with his No.9 hanging from the rafters along with Leetch, Messier and Richter.
It took Graves totally by surprise. “To have the privilege of having this opportunity,” Graves said. ”I had the good fortune of having known Rod. I look at Brian, Mike and Mark. I was the one guy who depended on them more than they depended [on each other]. I just feel humbled by that.”
The ceremony will come sometime next season and the Rangers said Graves will be the last member of the 1994 team to have his number retired. Â
