Training Camp – Day One Notes
Day one of camp was completed and Brandon Dubinsky is now officially considered a holdout. John Tortorella let his feelings be known on the subject yesterday, clearly opposing Dubinsky’s choice to decline to participate. Certainly it would be better for all if Dubinsky was in camp, but you have to feel that Glen Sather has also contributed to this scenario with a below market offer.
The Rangers’ biggest off-season signing, Marian Gaborik, also missed some of yesterday’s camp activities. Gaborik is coming off hip surgery and is feeling soreness after skating in recent days, Tortorella and the Rangers decided to hold out the high-scoring winger as a precautionary measure, but it certainly isn’t what you want to hear this early in the season.
