Winging It
Training camp is over, the first cuts have been made to the Rangers roster, and perhaps Sather is just a little closer to deciding what to do with the lack of depth on the wing. Several players have put their bids in for what could very well be some of the best jobs in the NHL this upcoming season.
First amongst them have been the youthful trio of Mikael Samuelsson, Jamie Lundmark and Rico Fata. Samuelsson, who was acquired last year in exchange for fan favorite Adam Graves, has by all accounts turned in a strong camp. The young Swede showed last year that he’s capable of playing in the NHL as a defensively responsible winger used primarily on the third line and short-handed situations.
