BRANDON PRUST RUMORS
Eric Engels: Heartbreak in Game Four, Prust and Price Down
The iconic image of this series may very well be Brandon Prust keeled over on his only shift in overtime, clutching his abdomen in pain.
A true gut-shot.
He felt it.
The Habs felt it.
Canadiens fans are feeling it.
After four games, the Canadiens trail the Senators 3-1, having outplayed their pesky opponents in three contests.
The Canadiens have been decimated...
Brandon Prust calls Ottawa coach Paul MacLean a "bug-eyed fat walrus"
Things turned sour pretty quickly in the Montreal-Ottawa series, didn't they? One hit and one brutal injury later, two teams that entered the series with a friendly rivalry have become bitter rivals. All respect has evaporated. Meet what should be a physical, heated and emotional conclusion to this series.

Rangers Sign Micheal Haley (UPDATE: Prust Goes to MTL)
#NYR Rangers have signed former #Isles tough guy Micheal Haley to two-year deal
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) July 1, 2012
I really like Haley's toughness and swagger, as did Isles fans, but this signing begs the question: How many tough guys do the Rangers need on the roster? Rupp, Bickel, Asham and now Haley are all signed to contracts.
GM Glen Sather needs...

Prust's Return to Rangers Unlikely
Despite the 2012 NHL Entry Draft taking place in Pittsburgh as we speak, the major news in the land of the New York Rangers has revolved around gritty winger Brandon Prust - an unrestricted free agent come July 1. Prust is a heart and soul player that has been loved by the franchise and the fans since day one when he was acquired from the Calgary Flames three years ago. For that...
Prust likely to test free agency
Per Larry Brooks, the gap between the Rangers and free agent Brandon Prust is a sizable one:
Though sources stressed that lines of communication remain open and that it is conceivable that Prust could re-sign before July 1, it is believed the difference between the parties is significant — upward of $1 million over the life of a three-year contract.

What if Prust gets greedy?
Brandon Prust is another example of Glen Sather’s recent ability to pull off trade theft. A throw in that became a core player and a great example of the black and blue, never say die Rangers identity. To cap it off, his last contract signed with the Rangers, a two year 800k/year deal, was a bargain thus further cementing Prust as a quality addition to the Rangers club.
With that...
Options to replace Prust tonight
Whether you agree with the suspension or not, Brandon Prust will not be playing in tonight’s Game 4 against the Devils. With the opportunity to build a two game lead, the Rangers will be without one of their warriors and top penalty killers. It’s a blow, but not a blow that can’t be overcome. Unlike with Carl Hagelin, the Rangers have a few options readily available to replace...
Brandon Prust Suspended for One Game

Prust, who has never received a prior suspension in his career, will now be unavailable for Game 4 at the Prudential Center on Monday night.
