by Jess Rubenstein You know some people just have to hog all the attention, they have to steal the spotlight from another and so what if they hog all the glory . Damn that Glen Sather how dare he try to ruin my debut here at Outside the Garden, who the heck does he think he is? Oh […]
Drury Addresses Needs Early
Chris Drury pulled the trigger on a trade, acquiring right winger Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Niko Mikkola from the St Louis Blues, in exchange for winger Sammy Blais, minor league prospect defenseman Hunter Skinner and two picks. For the best part of two years, Gallant has struggled to solve the top six, and while the new-found confidence of the Kid Line is giving […]
Camp Roster Released
Players will report to Trainining Camp tomorrow, with 66 players invited to this year’s edition. Head Coach Gerard Gallant and his team will have their hands full, with such a big roster, though that is likely to get trimmed quickly as players are sent down to the Wolf Pack, or back to their minor league/european […]
Lundkvist Traded To Dallas For First
Disgruntled Swedish defenseman Nils Lundkivst has gotten his request fulfilled, with news this evening that the Rangers have traded him to the Dallas Stars in exchange for a first round pick.

Nils Sum Game
After a week of speculation, Nils Lundkvist confirmed through his agent Claude Lemieux, that he will not report to camp, and will instead remain in Sweden hoping to force a trade.

The move had been anticipated, and the cost proved […]
Georgiev Traded For Picks
With just six days to go until the July 13th Free Agency period, Chris Drury exchanged backup netminder Alexandar Georgiev to the Colorado for three mid-round picks. With the Rangers short on time and Cap space, the move provides some expected relief, and returns a few modest assets that replace some of the picks dispensed at last season’s trade […]
It Makes Some Sort Of Cents
How would you feel if the Rangers traded 22 year old Filip Chytil? What about if former second overall pick Kaapo Kakko was traded? What if they both get traded? Because that could be very well where we’re heading this Summer as the Rangers look to compete for the Cup now, and do so with little Salary Cap […]
Rangers Call In The Copp

With the addition of […]
