One of the things we always like to see is how a prospect plays in the days after he has signed his first contract as they tend to go in one of two directions. The first direction which is the one we hate seeing is when the prospect thinks he has it made and coasts for a few games.Then there is the kind of effort that we like to see which is what Ryan Hillier gave us on Friday night...

That "truth" is the goal of each prospect otherwise known as a contract with the Rangers.For some like Ryan Hillier of the Halifax Mooseheads it is almost a given that Hillier will be offered a contract by the Rangers. The 2006 3rd round pick is having perhaps...

We had hoped that when Kundratek returned...
