Rangers Acquire Benn Ferriero
The Rangers made a minor move today, sending center Chad Kolarik to the Penguins in exchange for right wing Benn Ferriero. The 25 year old Massachusetts native was a seventh round draft pick of the Phoenix Coyotes back in 2006, and appeared in 92 NHL games with the San Jose Sharks over the previous three seasons after signing on as a free agent. He recorded 14 goals and 8 assists, and was a +12 in his three seasons with the Sharks.
Pittsburgh signed him as a free agent over the summer, and he has recorded 4 goals and 14 assists in 34 appearances with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins in the AHL.
