What are the first things that come to mind when you hear the name Tim Erixon? Is it his father, Jan Erixon who played 10 seasons for the Rangers? Is it the Calgary Flames, the team who originally drafted him 23rd overall in 2009? Well, I don’t know about you, but the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name Tim Erixon, is a 20 year old, NHL ready defenseman.

With the Traverse City Prospects Tournament completed, attention now turns to Rangers training camp, set to get under way tomorrow with players reporting for physicals.  First on-ice sessions will begin Saturday, with the preseason schedule kicking off next Wednesday against the Devils.

Going into camp, there appears to be few questions.  The Rangers have a well defined core now, with goaltending, top four defense and the majority of the forwards known, but there are still some decisions to be made.
