July 27, 2012
Note: This was written before Anton Stralman re-signed.
Tim Erixon was never going to be a deal breaker in the Rick Nash negotiations and as it turned out the talented young Swede was indeed sent to Columbus. With Erixon gone, the Rangers now have an even more pressing need to fill the bottom pair ahead of the new season. Something that was already an issue.

July 28, 2012
We’ve repeatedly lauded Rangers GM Glen Sather for his patience this summer, but rumors of new framework for the next CBA could represent just another example of the wisdom of Sather’s willingness to hurry up and wait.

While the New York Rangers have questions to still answer regarding their forwards; the defense remains one of the team's biggest strengths. An interesting mix of players featuring 3 former 1st rounders, a 2nd, a 7th and 2 undrafted players.
