Oscar Lindberg could replace Brian Boyle, but where will other prospects fit in?We’ve spent a lot of time discussing the hot starts by Oscar Lindberg and Jesper Fast, and their futures raises an interesting question for the Blueshirts.
Along with Lindberg and Fast, the Rangers have a number of potential NHL players one rung away from the big show in Hartford including J.T. Miller, Kyle Jean, Marek Hrivik, Andrew Yogan, Christian Thomas and Ryan Bourque. Not far behind them is Michael St. Croix.
It’s not that the Blueshirts have a ton of veteran forwards inked to long-term deals; only Rick Nash and Brad Richards are signed beyond next season.
Nine forwards are under contract beyond this season, but only Nash and Richards have multiple years left on their pacts.
So it’s not like New York is committed to a long list of players on paper at this point, but it also seems likely that a number of forwards will be here for the long haul. Nash, Richards, Ryan Callahan, Chris Kreider, Derek...

The other day I wondered if the Rangers would give Wade Redden a chance to make the roster if under the NHL's recent CBA proposal his salary would be counted against the cap even if he's playing with the CT Whale. This morning, Larry Brooks of the New York Post puts that idea to rest...

It must be frustrating for those New York Ranger fans not having the NHL because of the lockout. And it may be even more frustrating for those who normally would be talking about the Rangers on their blogs or website.
I can understand that up to a point because when the NHL resumes play then most won't even bother talking about the Ranger prospects where...

The season looked like it was off to a good start when the Connecticut Whale outscored the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 2-0, including a shorthanded goal by Kyle Jean in the first period of the season opener. But it was short lived though.
The Sound Tigers scored five of their own goals in the second period, extending a lead that was too much for...
