Well, he's no Alex Tanguay, but Ales Kotalik is now a New York Ranger. He comes fresh off a 43 point season (in 75 games), but he scored 11 in 19 after being sent to Edmonton from Buffalo. In fact, he's had 2 43-point seasons in a row and has only cracked 60 once, in 2005-06, where he had 25 goals. That was the only season of his career where he's had a full docket of 82 games also.

So another injured player for the Rangers, another 3rd liner for John Tortorella's "system," but I do like him. When the terms are announced, I hope he comes cheaply and for 1 or 2 years, but it's an upgrade over Aaron Voros, Donald Brashear, and Mark Bell.

But now, the real rivalry begins. Who will wear #21, Kotalik or Chris Higgins?
