Big Names On The Move
GM Glen Sather had a busy day on the eve of the free agent deadline, resigning two pending Restricted Free Agents and sending a couple of well known names off for draft picks.
Veteran defenseman and long time Ranger, Brian Leetch was sent to Edmonton in a move reminiscent to the Richter deal last season. In exchange the Rangers will receive a conditional 2004 4th round draft pick, along with netminder Jussi Markkanen.
