Rozsival To Have Surgery
Michal Rozsival will have surgery on his hip to repair a torn labrum. The surgery is being described as “clean-up” work and is expected to have no lasting impact on his play. Rozsival is set to become a UFA on July 1st, with no word on what the Rangers’ strategy might be with their leading scorer from the blueline.
21 year old pending UFA Blake Wheeler was in New York the Rangers’ practice facilities this week. Wheeler will have his choice of teams come July 1st, after turning down the Coyotes contract offer. The Minnesota native was drafted #5 overall in the 2004 draft, a move that surprised most at the time.
