Quick, Wheeler Signed…Quickly
Less than 30 minutes into free agency, and Chris Drury and the Rangers have also gone some ways to addressing a couple of needs for the team. With his first two moves resulting in the addition of a top six right wing and a backup netminder.
Rangers Round Out Draft On Day 2
With four picks remaining on Day 2 of the NHL, the Rangers went big. Literally that is, selecting players 6-2 and above, adding some depth to the blueline as well as a couple of longshot forward prospects.
Blueshirt Pick Perreault
New York only has five picks in the draft this year, and only one in the first two rounds, having traded away much of their draft capital to compete in the last two playoff runs.

The NHL today denied the Rangers’ request for an emergency call-up, presumably because the team could have made a call-up in lieu […]
Miller Hit With Spit Suspension
There were no breaks for the New York Rangers and K’Andre Miller today, with the league handing down a three game suspension for spitting on Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty. Miller can appeal the suspension and make his case to league commissioner Gary Bettman, or he can accept the term which will see him miss games […]
Math Getting Complicated On Kane Deal
It appears there’s a high likelihood at this stage, that Patrick Kane will be a New York Ranger by this time next week, when the NHL Trade Deadline passes – 3:00pm Eastern, on Friday March 3rd. What isn’t so clear yet is how that’s going to be accomplished. If the plan is to trade Vitali Kravtsov as part of […]
