Former Rangers Missing Out
He never played a game for the Rangers last year, but was he still under contract to the team. Wade Redden perhaps surprisingly to many, will potentially see post season action with the Boston Bruins after a four year trip through the hockey wilderness. A number of other contracted players, no longer with the Blueshirts, will […]
Big Apple Turnover
Every year you expect some degree of turnover. Trades, free agency and injuries or conspire to change the face of an organization from year to year. With still more than seven weeks to go until camp opens up on September 21st, the Rangers once again will have some significant differences. Ten players who were on […]
Day 1 Summary
Day one of Rangers Training Camp started with 63 players on deck, but notably excluded from the list was veteran Wade Redden and prospects Randy McNaught and Chris Chappell. Redden will report directly to the Whale when they open up camp, while McNaught will return to the WHL. Chappell was not invited to camp last year either, and would seemingly […]
Inexperienced Rangers Head Into Playoffs
The Rangers head into their Wednesday night series opener with the Washington Capitals with a big hill to climb. Of the 20 man roster that played in the final game of the season, only thirteen have played in the post season before. Of those thirteen players, only four have played more than forty post season […]

In our late Rangers Countdown profile for today, we stay closer to […]
More Cuts As Rangers Trim 11
The Rangers trimmed their roster by a further eleven players today, bringing the number remaining in camp to just 27, including injured forwards Chris Drury and Vinny Prospal. The cuts marked the end of contract bids for defensemen Alexei Semenov, Garnet Exelby and try-out Brandon Manning. At forward, the biggest surprise was perhaps Mats Zuccarello Aasen going to down […]
First Cuts Are The Deepest
The Rangers announced today that they have reassigned twenty five players to the minor leagues and juniors. Fifteen players were sent down to the Hartford Wolf Pack, which started it’s last official camp before converting to the Connecticut Whale later in the year, and another ten to Canadian Juniors. The moves mean there are 38 […]
The Battle For Spots
Captain Chris Drury went and saw a hand specialist yesterday and will likely miss 3-4 weeks as originally reported – four weeks at most according to a quote from this morning’s NY Post. The good news is that he won’t require surgery, nor will he need a cast – unless he manages to damage it further over the […]
Woody…Is That A….Johnson
Training Camp opened up today without any hitched, with 61 players in attendance. The roster included a number of invites, prospects and a handful of players signed to play with the Pack this season. One player who is on the Rangers’ payroll, but will play in Hartford this season is the subject of today’s Ranger […]

Parise, will go into camp to try and win an AHL contract. Parise completes a six man goalie roster that includes the projected NHL starting pair […]
