Perreault And Morrow Reassigned
With just one preseason game remaining, the Rangers came closer to an opening night roster by assigning defenseman Scott Morrow and winger Gabe Perreault to Hartford. The move brings the training camp roster to 25, meaning that at least two more cuts are coming.
Perhaps the biggest factor in the reassignment was the ability to send the pair down without having to pass through waivers, and for a team that has some depth challenges already, it is likely that Chris Drury wants to keep his options open as long as he can before he puts any of his veterans at risk.
