Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine (flyers fan) about Jeremy Roenick. One of the fond memories I have of Roenick was when his jaw was shattered at the hands of the Rangers. I couldn’t remember who it was that shot the puck that broke Jeremy’s jaw into a million pieces [...]

Sjostrom Signs

According to Steve Zipay, Fedrik Sjostrom has accepted the Rangers qualifying offer for 1 year at $840,000. This might make the Rangers the deepest team in the NHL.
Sjostrom had two goals and two assists in 18 games last season playing mostly on the 4th line. He’s probably going to have to fight for a spot [...]

The Rangers announced they have re-signed Forward Nigel Dawes. I am happy about this. Tom, if you’re reading this. MAKE THE THIRD LINE DAWES-DUBINSKY-PRUCHA!
The terms of the agreement have not been released yet.
Update 7/17: The deal was for one year and $587,500 – a bargain at twice the price!
Fritsche and Rangers agree to deal, avoid arbitration

The Rangers signed 23-year-old center Dan Fritsche to a contract today, but did not release the terms. Fritsche had applied for arbitration, but that will no longer be necessary.
I’m guessing that the Rangers have plans to use Fritsche as their 4th center, which leaves Blair Betts somewhat in limbo for now.
Rangers Trade Hollweg; Islanders fire Nolan

This morning I woke to the comedy that is the ownership of the New York Islanders. Oh what fun it must be to be a fan of the Islanders. You never know what will happen next!
Anyway, it seems that the Rangers shipped Ryan Hollweg to the Maple Leafs in exchange for a bag of used [...]

The NHL and the newly formed Russian Continental Hockey League (abbreviated KHL) agreed today at a meeting in Zurich to respect the validity of player contracts across all borders.
The immediate impact of the agreement will be to put an end to KHL teams offering big money to NHL players if they walk out on the remaining years [...]
Is there a trade in the works for the Rangers?

Take a look at the Rangers projected roster for 2008-2009. The top 3 lines and the defense are pretty much set, but there seem to be too many forwards.
Zherdev-Gomez-Naslund
Prucha-Drury-Dawes
Callahan-Dubinsky-Sjostrom
Voros-Fritsche/Rissmiller-[Anisimov?]
Hollweg/[Byers?]-Betts-Orr/[Moore?]
Redden-Staal
Rozsival-Girardi
Mara-Kalinin-[Sanguinetti?]
By my calculations the Rangers have an excess of 3 NHL forwards plus 3 more NHL-caliber forwards currently in Hartford. Because of this, it might be a good [...]
