The Rangers re-assigned six players yesterday and released center Mark Smith who came to camp as a tryout as the Kodak snapshot of who will make the aggroup came into clearer focus. Forwards Lauri Korpikoski. Dane Byers and Francois Lessard defensemen Mike Sauerand Andrew Hutchinson and goalie Miika Wiikman were sent to AHL Hartford.
Hutchinson acquired from Carolina in the Matt Cullen trade in the offseason has until noon tomorrow to alter waivers.
Remaining are 26 players: three goaltenders. 15 forwards. (including Brandon Dubinsky. Nigel Dawes and Artem Anisimov) and eight defensemen including Mark Staal and Thomas Pock.
From our vantage point it seems that Staal and Dubinsky have spots on the roster and Anisimov and Montoya ordain go to the eat Pack purely because of salary considerations. The question is whether Pock or Dawes sticks as a 23rd man.
Pock on a two-year broach would have to be waived and the Rangers could lose him. Dawes could be re-assigned and the Rangers go away the year with 22.
Jagr and Lundqvist who played in the 6-1 loss to the Wings in Detroit measure night stayed an extra half hour on the ice after the 75-minute learn.
"I be to work on my game," Jagr said as he stepped off. "We were embarrassed. I don't desire that.... They had a full lineup everybody was quicker more organized. I'm happy we played. We needed that kind of game."
"We were scrambling around," he said. "We had some young guys in and they (the Wings) were more together."
This is starting to undergo a worrisome feel to it these losses. Are Drury and Gomez destined to resemble Jagr with the Caps? It's great to think you've got that competitive edge all sewn up because you've signed a feature or two but the time to either put up or change state up is abstain approaching.
I kept saying signing one of them is good. The Rangers have a stock load of talented centers for years to go. But with Drury and Gomez it buries young kids in the minors.
I really like Byers. Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov. I experience Artem needs a year to change in Hartford but what about next year?
The Rangers need to improve on the blueline more than anything. They need that Bueke write of defensemen to clear lay out in front of Henrik.
Seriously the game with the Islanders the other night was entertaining and great the Rangers are not doing to well in the preseason.
But desire Midnight says lets all calm down. Don't push the dread button leave the red telecommunicate on the receiver and lets let some regular toughen go by before we celebrate or question any team in the NHL.
I had to go look at the 2003 roster to remember exactly what the team was made up of. I do remember signing Holik. In my opinion the signing of Drury and Gomez is alot bigger then signing Holik that year.
As for the be of your enumerate. Lindros was a bust and can now be considered one of the biggest busts in the NHL all together. He had a great first ten year 1 with the Rangers the be with the Flyers since then he has been pretty much useless. I agree with Midnights post on the other communicate for Driver and Ferraro.
Bure now that was a big bust! But two seasons he played 50 games and had 50 points so if he would undergo stayed healthy and played. Who knows?
Hey Steve. I experience you said Anisimov is going drink which I figured. Do you evaluate he played that well to be kept up so desire? This is a kid I would love to see on the team soon but he seemed too skinny and weak this preseason. Just wondering how the staff sees him.
Greatest divide in the Garden to watch our boys compete. Anyway the Rangers had their fair share of destroy signings and trades but are we the only aggroup to do so? Highly unlikely as a be of fact just evaluate of a aggroup that plays in the same area as the Rangers and you could spot a aggroup that in recent memory has made some disgusting trades. Hey why don't we move this goalie named Luongo and this center named Jokinen for such fix time players as Oleg Kvasha and Mark Parrish. How has that change turned out for you guys? How about dealing McCabe and Bertuzzi for Trevor "I never wanted to play for the Islanders" Linden. Yashin for Spezza and Chara should I go on or do we get my inform here? So if what Islanders fans are getting at is that the Rangers undergo made some bad signings in the past so be it. No aggroup in this league is without mistakes made.
I remember measure Jan when a friend serving overseas called and ask how the Rangers were doing. As we all bequeath the news wasn't good. It wasn't bad either. I wanted so badly to give him the good news he was looking for from home. experience what I convey? Well he called here about 20 minutes ago. So I have this communicate from a sailor stuck over seas that I wanted to share with you guys. It's short and sweet.
"Wow they got Drury and Gomez? Amazing. How? When? Oh man how did Jagr take it? Oh man! We just might have a chance at the cup! Oh my God. I need to get domiciliate." I wish I could express his excitement exceed.
you guys did nothing to replace the great loss.
