With just over 24 hours remaining until the 2013 rosters must be finalized, the Columbus Blue Jackets’ 2013 opening night roster seems to have already taken shape.
This afternoon, the club announced that 2011 second round draft pick Boone Jenner would be returned to Oshawa of the OHL, where he will likely finish the season. It should be noted...
Blue Jackets cut 2 to get down to 23-man roster
The Columbus Blue Jackets have reassigned promising forward Boone Jenner to his junior team and newly acquired defenseman Tim Erixon to Springfield, Mass., of the American Hockey League.
The moves allowed the Blue Jackets to get down to the 23-man limit for their opener at Nashville on Saturday night.
The 19-year-old Jenner is the club's second-round pick in the 2011 draft...
Erixon Cut By Columbus; Redden Clears Waivers
Update, 1:10 p.m.:
Portzline adds that Erixon was sent back to Columbus' AHL club.
...ok, not as big of a deal. I thought they completely cut him lose. I'm sure Columbus is still disappointed he couldn't make big club.

#CBJ cuts are C Boone Jenner and D Tim Erixon.

Around the Farm: Whale drop three over the weekend
The Connecticut Whale are on a bit of a roller coaster ride this year. After winning four in a row, the Whale dropped three straight games over the weekend. Following tough 4-2 (to Providence) and 4-3 (in OT to Syracuse) losses, the Whale got crushed by Tim Erixon and Springfield, losing by a score of 5-0. Ex-Whale(s) Erixon (assist) and Jonathan Audy-Marchessault (two assists) again...
Reviewing our predictions for the New York Rangers (part 1)
(AP Photo/Julio Cortez)
Two summers ago (2011), we started writing posts titled “Reasonable Expectations.” The idea behind these posts was to outline what we should expect from some of our core youth on the Rangers. It’s natural to expect every player to turn into a first liner, but that’s not reality.
When we wrote these expectation posts two summers ago, they were obviously...
Timeline of events: How Rick Nash became a Ranger
It’s always very interesting to see how previous draft picks and trades pave the way for a big name player to be acquired. We looked into how Brandon Dubinsky became a Ranger, how Marc Staal became a Ranger, and how Tim Erixon wound up with the Rangers organization. Now, we look at a few of those deals, and how they all led to the Rangers acquiring Rick Nash. It’s interesting...
Springfield Falcons 2, Connecticut Whale 0
Springfield, MA, November 9, 2012 – Former Connecticut Whale Tim Erixon, who had four points and a +6 against his old club in a 10-2 Springfield Falcon win Sunday in Hartford, burned the Whale again Friday night at the MassMutual Center, scoring the only two goals of the game in a 2-0 Springfield victory.
Both of Erixon’s goals were on power plays, as Springfield had 11 man...
Springfield Falcons 10, Connecticut Whale 2
By Wil Goldsholl
Hartford, CT, November 4, 2012 - The Springfield Falcons defeated the Connecticut Whale at the XL Center in Hartford Sunday night. The Falcons dominated scoring, winning by a final count of 10-2.
Former Whale players Tim Erixon (goal and three assists, +6) and Jonathan Audy-Marchessault (goal and two assists, +4) combined for seven points and a +10...
Prospects with a chance to make the team
As the offseason turns to August, and the rosters begin to take shape, the attention turns away from those with guaranteed roster spots and towards the many prospects within the system that are all competing to be that sleeper in camp. Last year Stu Bickel was that sleeper, and Carl Hagelin was the mid-season call up that many expected he would be. This year there aren’t as many...
The enormous impact of Michael Sauer’s potential return
Recent reports from radio color commentator Dave Maloney and from Jess Rubenstein at The Prospect Park that Michael Sauer has made “tremendous progress” have added to what has been a spectacular late-July for the New York Rangers.
Though Tim Erixon was a necessary piece to acquire Rick Nash, trading him left the Blueshirts woefully thin on the blueline. The top-four of Ryan...
New York Gets To Nosh With Nash
While I was away on vacation last week, the New York Rangers and Columbus Blue Jackets decided to do a little transferring of players. Even if I was here, I probably wouldn’t have written anything until now. That’s commitment! The Rangers acquired Rick Nash, someone they were rumored to be pursuing months ago leading up to their playoff run, along with Steve Delisle, in exchange...
The Nash Fallout: With Erixon gone, Rangers need to fill defensive holes
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.
It was widely assumed...
With inclusion of Erixon, maybe Scott Howson did better than we thought
There have been several reports that some variation of the package the Rangers sent to Columbus for Rick Nash on Monday was on the negotiating table for months before the deal was finally consummated. But Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch, who is one of the more clued in reporters in the business, tweeted that defensive prospect Tim Erixon was in fact only added to the deal...
Breaking Down The Blue Jackets/Rangers Trade
from Stu Hackel of the Red Light, Well, the immediate evaluation on the deal overwhelmingly criticized Howson for not getting more in return, a chorus that included my friend and SI.com colleague Adrian Dater and, strangely, the man whose own failures as the first Blue Jackets GM played a large role in their perpetual futility, Doug MacLean (via Twitter), who is now a hockey analyst...
Jackets trade Nash to Rangers for four players
COLUMBUS, OHIO The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired forwards Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov, defenseman Tim Erixon and a first round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft from the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Rick Nash, defenseman Steven Delisle and a conditional third round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, club Executive Vice President and General Manager Scott Howson announced...
Sather Does It Again; Fleeces Howson and Jackets to Get Nash
As reported here earlier, the New York Rangers have sent forwards Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov as well as prospect defenseman Tim Erixon and a first round draft pick to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for five-time All-Star power forward Rick Nash - Rangers GM Glen Sather's major target since the 2012 trade deadline last winter.
I'm sure you all remember...
Rangers Not a Top 10 Organization
Corey Pronman at Hockey Prospectus inexplicably leaves the Rangers out of the top 10 of his organizational rankings...11. New York Rangers: The Rangers won't be this high next year with likely graduations from top prospects Chris Kreider and Tim Erixon, but until that time, it looks like New York has several more pieces to add to an already good young core. Beyond their top two...
Master Plan: NYR roster in 2012 & beyond
This past year the Rangers took another step towards their goal of challenging for the Cup with a core built upon homegrown talent. Some of those core players continued their development and showed us all the great promise of what’s to come, while others left us wanting a little more.
Despite a few media reports saying otherwise, we probably won’t see any major roster upheaval...
Meet first-round pick Brady Skjei
It should come as no surprise that the Rangers again dipped into the ever-improving talent pool of American-born prospects to make their first-round selection. With the 28th pick in the draft, Gordie Clark announced the selection of defenseman Brady Skjei, a Minnesota native out of the U.S. National Team Development Program, from which the Blueshirts selected J.T. Miller a year...
Where the defense prospects stand
Before Friday’s draft it’s a good idea to take stock of what the Rangers already have in the system. If New York follows suit, then the Blueshirts will pick the best player available regardless of position. However, it’s worth evaluating where the team’s strengths lie. Kevin evaluated the forwards, so let’s look at the defense.
Tim Erixon
Erixon has been met with a...
Here’s the deal with Justin Schultz
He’s pretty good – as in, TSN prospect expert Craig Button compared him to Kings superstar defenseman Drew Doughty. Schultz, 21 and originally drafted 43rd overall by Anaheim in 2008, starred at the University of Wisconsin, where he tallied 40 goals and 73 assists in 121 career games (by comparison, former Badger Ryan McDonagh posted 14 goals and 32 assists in 119 games). ...
Tim Erixon is a Ranger because of Al Montoya
When I get bored, I like to research how specific players came to the Rangers organization. One of the first ones I researched was how Matthew Barnaby’s acquisition led to Brandon Dubinsky becoming a Ranger. Another I did was how Vladamir Malakhov’s signing led to Marc Staal becoming a Ranger. Now in some more research, feast your eyes on how Tim Erixon became a Ranger:

Rangers Recall McIlrath, Erixon, Miller & 3 Others From Connecticut
Press Release New York, May 15, 2012 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has recalled six players from the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL) – goaltender Cam Talbot; defensemen Tim Erixon and Dylan McIlrath; and forwards J.T. Miller, Kris Newbury and Casey Wellman. Talbot, [...]
McIlrath, Miller, Erixon, and six others called up
Yesterday the Rangers announced that they had recalled nine players from the Connecticut Whale of the AHL. The Whale were eliminated from Calder Cup contention last week, and the nine players called up will serve as the “taxi squad.” As per Andrew Gross, they will practice separately from the current roster. It should be noted that of these players with asterisks have professional...
Erixon Still An Option for Playoffs
Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record reports that John Tortorella said after practice today that he's not sure what he's doing with the defensive pairs for the playoffs and that Tim Erixon is still an option.Steve Eminger (ankle) didn't skate for the second straight practice....i didn't think Erixon looked NHL ready during his call ups this season, so I'd rather...
