The New York Rangers have to trim their roster down to 24 players by Wednesday, and there's going to be a significant amount of drama in Coach John Tortorella's decision. When Sean Avery's involved, when isn't there drama? From Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News: The team must cut down to 24 players by Wednesday, and John Tortorella said in a conference call from Gothenburg, Sweden on Saturday that Erik Christensen and Sean Avery are vying for that final spot. "As far as the forwards are concerned, we'd like to just carry 13," Tortorella said. "We're still going not sure who that 13th forward is. It's obviously Erik (Christensen) and Sean (Avery) battling for that spot." Christensen is signed for this season at $925,000. Avery is in the last year of his deal at $1.938 million (with the Dallas Stars still picking up the rest of the tab). Yes, it's impossible to separate the more salacious aspects of Avery's game (and controv...

Erixon, Hagelin, Bourque Cut As Ranger Trim Roster

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  October 01, 2011
The New York Rangers announced their second round of cuts this morning, and while most of the six players cut will not come as a surprise, the fact that Tim Erixon has been cut is a bit shocking.  The other five players cut were Dylan McIlrath, Carl Hagelin, Ryan Bourque, Kris Newbury, and Dale Weise.  Of these six players, only McIlrath will return to the CHL (Moose Jaw Warriors...

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  October 02, 2011
The New York Rangers will look to improve on their 3-1-1 record so far in the preseason when they visit Slovakia this morning for a match against HC Slovan. On Friday we saw a homecoming for Henrik Lundqvist when the Blueshrits visited Gothenburg, Sweden and today we will see just that for Marian Gaborik in Bratislava, Slovakia, which is not too far from where Gabby grew up.  ...

Rangers Lines Against HC Slovan

Postgame: Rangers Defeat HC Slovan in Gabby's Return Home

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  October 02, 2011
Traveling to three different countries for three games in four days is no easy task, so unsurprisingly the New York Rangers came out sluggish for this morning's match against HC Slovan in Bratislava, Slovakia. They collected themselves well, however, and managed to come out with a 4-1 victory to improve their preseason record to 4-1-1. They will now have the opportunity to sweep...

Via Rangers Review  |  October 01, 2011
Is anyone else getting tired of games that have next to no roster implications at all? I mean, we get it, there are 1 or 2 spots available on this team, mostly as backup players. but seriously, does anyone really think Dylan McIlrath, Bell, Parlett, Mitchell, etc will make this team? Come on guys, really? I think the reason the Rangers have so many players on their team right...

Avery in fight to make Rangers roster

Via NY Daily News  |  October 02, 2011
The battle between Erik Christensen and Sean Avery for the Rangers' final roster spot wasn't much of a competition Sunday. Avery, the Blueshirts' scrappy winger, was a healthy scratch for their 4-1 preseason win over HC Slovan in Bratislava, Slovakia, while Christensen centered a line with Ruslan Fedotenko and Brandon Prust.
