TEAMS: New York Rangers
Ottawa-senators-new-york
The Rangers have five RFAs headed into the offseason. In order to qualify for offer sheet compensation, the organization must present qualifying offers to their RFAs before the start of free agency. All QOs are one year deals. Here are the salaries to be presented in the QOs: Ryan McDonagh: $826,875 Derek Stepan: $826,875 Carl Hagelin: $660,000 Mats Zuccarello: $735,000 Mike Sauer (not expected to receive a QO): $1.25 million Of the five RFAs, Sauer will likely not receive a QO. None of the other four will accept their QO either. This is just a step in the process. Tweet

Stay or Go: Brian Boyle

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  June 11, 2013
When Dave and the staff here at Blue Seat Blogs first conjured up the concept of “Stay or Go” posts, they were originally meant to be for current roster players on the verge of free agency. Although Boyle isn’t a free agent this offseason — his deal is up next year — I think it’s worth discussing moving the big fella given our cap issues and some of our roster needs...

Gauging Ryan McDonagh’s RFA Market

Via Ranger Nation  |  June 11, 2013
Perhaps the most important task on the agenda of Glen Sather (or whomever may be calling the shots on Manhattan) this summer is extending the contract of shutdown defender Ryan McDonagh. We’ve already assessed the value of fellow RFA Derek Stepan and determined he is going to be expensive. McDonagh, given his performance through the [...]

Del Zotto becomes third Ranger to have offseason surgery

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  June 13, 2013
According to his Twitter account, Michael Del Zotto became the third Ranger to have surgery this offseason. It does not sound like his injury was as serious as the torn labrums suffered by Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin though. Since the type of surgery is unknown, and the team has not formally announced anything, a timetable for a return has not been provided. Tweet

Moore to Have Intense Offseason Training

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  June 11, 2013
John Moore recently spoke to Blueshirts United about the taking advantage of the opportunity he has in New York... “It’s really refreshing going into the summer realizing that there’s a real opportunity here for me to grow my game. It’s going to make my approach to offseason training that much more intense. The onus falls on me to come in here and be in good shape, ready...

Jan Levine: Rangers Coaching Search Finally Under Way...

Via HockeyBuzz  |  June 11, 2013
The Rangers finally appear to realize that a coaching search is underway. While the team brass meet at the Western White House, otherwise known as GM Glen Sather's pad in La Quinta, information has filtered out about the "progress" on the search for a new coach. Of course, John Tortorella was fired almost two weeks ago, but why should that gap in time be a reason for...

Del Zotto Had Surgery Today

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  June 13, 2013
Michael Del Zotto tweeted that he had a "long morning of surgery" today. He adds that he will be back in top shape in no time. While the Rangers had announced surgeries for Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin, there have been no mentions of Del Zotto going under the knife. ...oooooohhhhhhh, no wonder he played so poorly in the playoffs. His mental gaffes obviously...

The Latest On The New York Rangers’ Coaching Hunt

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, The leader in the clubhouse would be Alain Vigneault. That, of course, excludes the other leader in the clubhouse named Mark Messier. This is the state of the Rangers’ search for a coach that paused yesterday following Vigneault’s visit on Tuesday with general manager Glen Sather and front office personnel at the club’s organizational...

Decision on Vigneault Not Imminent; Leetch to Be Messier Assistant?

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  June 13, 2013
Larry Brooks at the New York Post reports that Alaine Vigneault is believed to have made a favorable impression on Glen Sather during his interview on Tuesday, though an offer for the Rangers head coaching vacancy does not seem imminent, unless the Stars make a time-sensitive offer to Vigneault.

Musings: Coaching, free agents, RFAs, offseason

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  June 13, 2013
Gerry Kahrmann , PNG files There has been a whole lot of news recently, and Chris was kind enough to be unavailable to write the Musings this week. That means I get to do a brain dump on the offseason so far, which is super. Starting with the coaching, I am still surprised that the Rangers fired John Tortorella. I don’t believe they intended to do this initially, but something...

If Rangers Want Vigneault They Better Move Quick

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  June 12, 2013
As I posted Sunday, Glen Sather really needs to add a little pep to his step if he doesn't want another top head coaching candidate to sign elsewhere. According to Darren Dreger at TSN, after his interview with the Rangers yesterday, Alaine Vigneault is expected to re-connect with the Dallas Stars in the next few days. The former Canucks head coach is considered a top choice...

Potential UFA target: David Clarkson

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  June 12, 2013
The Rangers have been burned by ex-Devils before, but that’s not what should keep them away from David Clarkson We all know that converted Devils haven’t made for the best Rangers. It’s an inescapable trend, but it would also be foolish for the team to make decisions based on past history rather than judging what individual players bring to the table. So with that said, GM...
