Four Qualified – Four Not

With qualifying offers required to RFAs today, news has been reported that four of the Rangers eight RFAs have been given qualifying offers.  Unsurprisingly the biggest name on the list is Kaapo Kakko, who is coming off his Entry Level Contract.  Joining him on the list are Austin Rueschhoff, a lanky 6-7 winger who joined the Rangers […]

Waivers Cleared For All Six

All six players placed on waivers for purposes of reassignment to Hartford have cleared, and will now join the Wolf Pack ahead of their training camp.  The six included Anthony Bitetto, Keith Kinkaid, Tim Gettinger and Jonny Brodzinski, who all saw limited action last year to cover for injuries. Also sent down, were Ty Ronning and Anthony Greco, who are both […]

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 […]

Ronning Signed

Capping off their signings this week, the Rangers have come to terms with forward Ty Ronning on a one-year $750,000 deal.  The agreement means the 24 year old right winger – and son of former NHLer Cliff Ronning, will get another shot at trying to break into the NHL with the Rangers. A former draft pick of […]

Kevin Over Colin

With lists due to the NHL by 5:00pm Eastern Saturday, and a trade freeze starting two hours before – and running until 1:00pm Thursday – the Rangers were about to give us the first clues as to what might happen this offseason. The re-signing of both Julien Gauthier and Brett Howden prior to the deadline suggested that the Rangers […]

Rangers May Wing-It

It’s likely that Jeff Gorton is going to at least try to make some moves this weekend at the NHL draft, but it remains to be seen what he actually accomplishes.  With John Davidson now firmly in place as President of the New York Rangers, and the second overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Gorton […]

First Cuts Made To Camp Roster

With camp just in it’s fourth day, the Rangers coaching staff have made their first cuts, trimming the roster from 52 to 45.  With five preseason games remaining, the Rangers will need to cut at least 21 more players before the opening day rosters are set. Of the eight cut today, three were netminders who […]

An All-in Rebuild, Well Sort Of

The Rangers are in full rebuild mode, at least that’s true if you read the papers (Rangers Embark On All-Out Rebuild, Rangers Went All-In, and of course the overused Fire-Sale, then there’s of course the back page of the New York Post).  Even the more sedate NY Times gets in on the action with the Complete Overhaul.  Finally the ever engaging […]

First Five Cut From Camp Roster

New York today trimmed their camp roster to 49 with the reassignment of five players to the AHL and minors.  Forwards Adam Chapie, Robin Kovacs and defenseman Brenden Kotyk will all reassigned to Hartford of the AHL where camp begins this Friday.  Ty Ronning and TImothy Gettinger were sent back to their junior teams after both having competed in […]
