Asham and Powe Still Rangers
Both Arron Asham and Darroll Powe were placed on waivers yesterday, in the hope that a team might claim them and review their respective salaries from the Cap calculation. At 12pm Eastern today, they remained unclaimed and as such remain on the Summer roster. Each team is however allowed to exceed by 10 percent the $64.3M cap figure over […]
Ryane Clowe Goes To Rival Devils
It seems the Rangers aren’t the only ones who were willing to overpay for injured wing Ryane Clowe.  The Devils announced today that they have signed the former Rangers to a five year – $24.25M deal pretty right after the 12pm deadline passed. Clowe will get to see his former team plenty of times, providing he […]
Henrik Lundqvist Second Team All Star
Henrik Lundqvist has been selected in the NHL Second All-Star Team, backing up his First All-Star Team selection from last year. The defending Vezina Trophy winner earlier lost his title to Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets, and finished second behind the same netminder in the All-Star voting. Lundqvist recovered from a slow start, to lead […]
Arniel and Samuelsson Official; Another On The Way?
The Rangers finally made it official that Ulf Samuelsson has joined the Rangers as an Assistant to Head Coach Alain Vigneault, and also confirmed the hiring of former Blue Jackets Head Coach as a second Assistant. GM Glen Sather also indicated that the Rangers may not be done yet, following on from comments earlier by Vigneault that he’d […]
Scott Arniel Pegged To Be Assistant Coach
Just a couple of days after Ulf Samuelsson was pegged as the first assistant coach – he was at the prospect camp today, but we’re still awaiting for an official announcement – Alain Vigneault appears to have added a second assistant, former Blue Jackets Head Coach Scott Arniel. Arniel was head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets […]
Palmieri & Niemi Set To Become UFAs
New York will not extend qualifying offers to pending RFAs Nick Palmieri and Jyri Niemi, but will extend an offer to Brandon Mashinter. In the case of Niemi, it’s not surprising. The former Islanders draft pick was acquired back in May 2010 in exchange for a sixth round pick, but has struggled to make an impact in the AHL. […]
2013 6th Round Pick – Mackenzie Skapski
Going into the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, the Rangers were targetting adding another goaltender to their prospect pool, after another year of evaluating borderline NHL prospects Scott Stajcer and Jason Missiaen. With their sixth round pick, the Rangers did just that, selecting 19 year old Kootenay Ice netminder, Mackenzie Skapski with the 170th pick in the draft. He was the […]
Mike Sauer Not Qualified
The Rangers have made it official, declining to offer pending RFA Mike Sauer a qualifying contract offer, meaning that the 26 year old defenseman will become an unrestricted free agent later in the week. Not that it matters, Sauer hasn’t played hockey since December of 2011, when he was sidelined by a Dion Phaneuf hit. Since […]
Ulf Samuelsson Joining Rangers, Brown Next?
Alain Vigneault has reportedly added former Ranger defenseman Ulf Samuelsson to his staff, and appears to be favoring his former aide in Vancouver, Newell Brown for the remaining bench spot. No word yet on who he might be pegging for the booth, but likely there will be at least one more added to his staff. Samuelsson returns […]
2013 3rd Round Pick – Adam Tambellini
It was the first time in the 51 year history of the NHL Entry Draft that the Rangers didn’t have a pick in the first two rounds, and the wait was a little monotonous. While there was some speculation of trades the Rangers might have made, in the end they held fast and went with […]
