Prospect Camp Wraps Up
With today’s final practice cancelled, the Rangers 2021 Prospect Camp has officially wrapped up. The camp featured 27 players who came together on September 10th and finished it off with a home and home series with the Flyers prospects. The results aside (a 6-3 defeat on Saturday and a 3-2 win in the return match […]
Prospect Camp Roster Announced
Last year’s development and prospect camps never came to fruition, a victim of the COVID pandemic that saw the 2019-20 season suspended, and a draft held out in October. Over a year later, and the normal fixture that occurs right after the NHL Draft has been moved out as a replacement for the Traverse City […]
Camp Set To Start Around September 22nd
Perhaps the only advantage of the ongoing COVID situation is that this season’s Summer is about a month shorter than normal. Normally you’d expect a team that missed the playoffs to be off the ice in early April, and then a substantial gap between the July1st free agency period and the restart of festivities in […]
Rangers Expected To Buyout DeAngelo
The Rangers may have changed management and coaching staff, but the expectation that the Rangers will buy out defenseman Tony DeAngelo from his final contract year remain. Suspended since an altercation with goaltender Alexandar Georgiev on January 31st, following a 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins, in which the pair had a mix-up that lead to the […]
Fox Wins Norris – Miller All-Rookie D

The Team Is Kind Of The Same
If you look at the team that lost 0-3 in the qualifying round back in August, you would see just a handful of changes. Gone are the two longest tenured Rangers in Henrik Lundqvist (buy-out) and Marc Staal (trade), as well as the fourth longest in Jesper Fast (free agency). Also moving on are Greg McKegg and Micheal Haley, as well as depth players Cristoval […]
Rangers Announce 54 Man Roster For Camp
The Rangers will report for physicals tomorrow, one day ahead of the official start to training camp on Friday. 54 players were included on the practice squads, with defenseman Yegor Rykov also expected to be added if he can overcome a sprained ankle he suffered during the recently completed Traverse City Prospects Tourney in Michigan. There were few surprises […]
Traverse City Roster Released
We’re one week and four days away from the Traverse City and the Rangers today released the names of the 24 players expected to participate in the five day tournament that precedes training camp and unofficially starts the preseason. The focus – and expectations – this year, will be on a group of new prospects […]
