Rangers Make First Cuts

With the first part of Training Camp complete, and the team scheduled to make their Preseason debut tonight in Boston (7:00pm EDT), Peter Laviolette and Chris Drury made their first cuts in order to trim the roster. The first to go was goaltender Olof Lindbom this morning, with the team making him the first reassignment […]

5 More Cut From Camp

The Rangers trimmed their training camp roster to 29 players, with goaltender Louis Domingue also placed on waivers in order to send him down.  That will iultimately leave at least five, and probably six more players to cut prior to the October 11th season opener. Sent down today were forwards Will Cuylle, Lauri Pajuniemi and Tim Gettinger, along with […]

Othmann And Seven Others Reassigned

Following last night’s third preseason game, the Rangers have announced the reassignment of an additional eight players, taking their camp roster down to 34 with three games to play.  Headlining the reassignments is forward Brennan Othmann, who looked strong in Game 1, but made less of an impression in last night’s 5-2 loss to the Devils. […]

Robertson And 18 Others Reassigned

Going into training camp, there was some thought that Matthew Robertson might be able to compete for the vacant defensive spot, but it appears he’s further away than many of us thought.  The 21 year old was one of 19 players – mostly AHL contracted – who went sent down today ahead of games tonight and tomorrow. […]

Sykora Reassigned To Slovakia

Training Camp roster now sits at 61 players, following today’s reassignment of Adam Sykora back to his Slovakian Extraliga club, HK Nitra.  Sykora picked up two minor penalties in last night’s 4-1 preseason win over the New York Islanders, but was not expected to factor into the Rangers’ roster plans this year. The 18 year old Sykora […]

First Cuts At Camp

The New York Rangers announced the first four cuts at camp today, sending for forwards back to Canadian Juniors and their respective training camps.  Included in the four were 2022 NHL draft picks Bryce McConnell-Barker and Maxim Barbashev, along with 2021 3rd round pick Jayden Grubbe and 18 year old invitee Sam Alfano. Both McConnell-Barker and Barbashev are relatively raw […]

Rangers Finalize Roster With Demotions

The Rangers complied with the 5pm Eastern deadline to finalize their opening night roster, by sending down waiver exempt forwards Vitali Kravtsov and Morgan Barron, along with veteran the recently recalled Greg McKegg.  The moves put the Rangers exactly at the league maximum 23, with two goaltenders, eight defensemen and thirteen forwards. By reassigning Kravtsov and Barron, the Rangers […]

Othmann Sent Down – 6 Placed On Waivers

As the last 2021 draft pick to be reassigned, Brennan Othmann felt he achieved one of his goals.  Observers have said he didn’t look out of place alongside his much more experienced teammates, which bodes well for his future.  With just one appearance, Othmann’s chance to impress has largely been in the confines of the Rangers’ practice […]

Justin Richards Reassigned

Forward Justin Richards has been reassigned to Hartford following his appearance in last night’s 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins.  Richards made in his NHL debut last season, appearing in the final regular season game and picking up an assist. The 23 year old who was signed as an undrafted free agent out of the University of […]

The moves mark the first reassignments of players […]
