While Team USA lost its final exhibition game of evaluation camp to Finland 3-2, Rangers 2012 first round pick Brady Skjei impressed (via United States of Hockey)..."I thought Skjei was Team USA's best defenseman today, away from the shadow of former U18 teammates Seth Jones and Jacob Trouba. Skjei was his normal, slick-skating self, but showed even better puck-moving skills than he's displayed previously in camp. He was working the power-play with Connor Murphy extremely well and got himself involved a little more offensively. He was so sound positionally today, which made things difficult for the finish forwards. There are some elements of his game that could use polish, no doubt, but based on what he showed in camp, he belongs in the conversation as a potential No. 5 or 6 Dman on this team."Skjei picked up his second assist of the evaluation camp in the game....nothing better than a bubble player making a lasting impression on the final day of camp. Love hearing...

No doubt about it, the Rangers have had some serious roster turnover this season, especially among the bottom six forwards. Gone are Brandon Prust, John Mitchell, Ruslan Fedotenko, Artem Anisimov, and Brandon Dubinsky. In are Arron Asham, Taylor Pyatt, Jeff Halpern, and possibly Michael Haley (at least to start the season while Marian Gaborik is out). While the Rangers will surely...

When I listed worst 20 players by team and zone adjusted Corsi ratings in 2011/12 there were three name players on the list in Mike Richards, Jarome Iginla and Marian Gaborik. Today I will look at the case of Gaborik.
Marian Gaborik was the top scorer on the New York Rangers with 76 points. In fact he was the fifteenth highest scorer in the NHL. He did this playing an...

Craig Custance at ESPN Insider takes a look at what the American and Canadian Olympic teams might look like in 2014 and if he's correct there should be plenty of Rangers representation.For Team USA, Custance says Ryan Callahan is a lock to return and will be one of the players considered for captain....obviously I'm biased, but there could not be a better representation of...

J.T. Miller (USA Hockey)
Boy if you are a New York Ranger fan then you really have to be happy with the performances that the 3 Ranger prospects put on during the USA Hockey Summer Evaluation Camp this past week.
J.T. Miller (2011 1st), Brady Skjei (2012 1st), and Steven Fogarty (2011 3rd) may not have "stolen the show" but put on steady enough performances that strengthened...
