Rangers lose a defenseman on waivers for second straight year.  Was unlikely to play in NY this year, but was a depth option on the right side and had a solid season last year for Wolf Pack

Not a big surprise.  Same could happen with Jones or Blidh.

Blidh passed through and was reassigned

I said Jones would never play here. Can't have two small defenseman. It's not a recipe for playoff success. Rangers won't send him down and lose him for nothing. They will keep him as an extra until they can work out a deal for him. They should get at least a 3rd rounder for him.

I think losing Emberson will probably make the Rangers less interested in trading him...at least before we get closer to the deadline.  He has some utility given that he's comfortable playing both sides, but more importantly he provides an option to cover for injury, as do Harpur, Holloway and Mackey to varying degrees.  Last year the Rangers quickly lacked depth on defense with Tinordi claimed and Lundkvist dealt.
