The Rangers freed up some room on their cap by waiving Rissmiller. (Ideally for the Rangers, nobody else will claim him, and he will end up in Hartford for the season.)

he has enough left. Probably could score more goals than Prucha. He would know if he wouldnt have anything left. just trust shanny.
