RANGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
What a Hagelin Bridge Deal Might Look Like
While not as critical as re-signing fellow RFA’s Derek Stepan and Ryan McDonagh, Glen Sather must also set aside the time and cap space to get Carl Hagelin under contract this summer. Unlike Step and McD, however, the jury is still out as to whether Hags is a building block player or someone the Rangers [...]
Stay or Go: Taylor Pyatt

Usually when we do our stay or go posts, we look at pending UFAs to see if the Rangers should spend the money to keep these players around. Last week Suit wrote a stay or go for Brian Boyle, as Boyle is the subject of a lot of discussion, and I’m going to piggy-back on this. Many know that I’m a Boyle supporter,and with AV –and his...
2013 draft preview: Hudson Fasching, Zach Sanford, Spencer Martin
It’s hard not to root for Hudson Fasching.
With a new coach on board, the next order of business this offseason will be the NHL Draft, coming up on June 30th. The Rangers don’t have first or second round choices thanks to trades for Rick Nash and Ryane Clowe, but they do have three third round picks. The good news is that the 2013 draft is considered extremely deep, but by...
Alain Vigneault inks 5-year deal to coach Rangers: Report
The New York Rangers have reportedly hired Alain Vigneault to be their next head coach. The contract is for five years and worth $10 million, according to CBC Sports.
The ex-Vancouver Canucks coach replaces the departed John Tortorella, who was shown the door by the club after the Rangers were ousted by the Boston Bruins in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Vigneault...
Popal: Derick Brassard Could Be The X Factor the Rangers Need to Keep
When rumors were swirling that Marian Gaborik and then New York Rangers coach John Tortorella had a strained relationship Gaborik was shipped to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Derek Dorsett, John Moore and Derick Brassard. Not much was known about the three, but one of them sure wanted to stand out and that player was [...]
Lundqvist Is Vezina Runner Up
This weekend the NHL announced their 2013 award winners and unfortunately, Henrik Lundqvist came up short in his bid for a second straight Vezina Trophy as he finished in second place to Sergei Bobrovsky.
Bobrovsky doubled the amount of votes Lundqvist received (110 to 55).
Bobrovsky had a better goals against average (2.00 to 2.05) and save percentage (.932 to .926) as...
Callahan Surgically Repaired Shoulder Is Feeling Better
Last month, it was announced that Ryan Callahan underwent successful surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The Rangers captain recently gave an update on his progress (via Blueshirts United)...
"It's getting there, slowly but surely (my shoulder) is feeling better. The first week (after surgery) was tough."
As I suspected, Callahan admitted...
Vigneault favorite for Rangers' job
Amid reports that Alain Vigneault is the New York Rangers' choice to replace fired coach John Tortorella, the team still isn't ready to make that announcement.
Vigneault has emerged from a group of candidates that included former Rangers captain Mark Messier as the favorite to land the job. He interviewed at the club's organizational meetings in California and then met...

Richards Might Not Be Bought Out
Going into the off-season, most Rangers fans assumed Brad Richards being bought out was a slam dunk, but Larry Brooks at the New York Post says not so fast...
"Given the change in coaches and the absence of cost-effective available talent down the middle on the free agent market, it is beginning to seem more and more likely the Rangers won’t be asking Brad Richards to...
Rangers interview Messier for coaching job
File this under "too good to be true." The New York Rangers have interviewed Mark Messier for their head coaching position. No, seriously. They have interviewed someone with no coaching experience to lead their team deeper into the playoffs than John Tortorella did.
Why Messier? Well, besides the fact that he's such a great leader he has a trophy named after...
It’s more likely that the Rangers will sign stopgap UFA forwards than big names
The Rangers should be keeping a seat warm for Oscar Lindberg.
Every year as free agency approaches Ranger fans spend most of their time talking about the big fish, the top five or so guys available. We’ve kind of been trained to do that thanks to the free-spending ways of GM Glen Sather, but it’s also only natural to think about the impact that recognizable players might be...
Popal: Five Rangers That Need To Get Contract Extensions
1. Henrik Lundqvist – This is an obvious choice, he’s the King of New York. Rumor has been that Henrik Lundqvist’s words on break up day cost John Tortorella his job as Rangers head coach. What organization would sit quietly when their star goalie isn’t sure he wants to stay?! There are several memes on [...]
