With basically nothing happening league-wide on Day 2 of free agency, we skip ahead to Day 3, with a signing and other Ranger related news.
Taylor Pyatt: The former Phoenix Coyotes forward signed a 2 year, $3.1 million deal today, in a move that may signal the end of Ruslan Fedotenko. Pyatt scored 9 goals for 19 points in 73 games last season for the Coyotes which included 4 goals in the postseason which helped the Coyotes along to the Conference Finals. Pyatt will be a nice addition to the Rangers, who have kept adding size so far in July. This signing is somewhat significant because with Prust off to Montreal and the unknown situation with Feds, Sather went out and got himself a penalty killer. Good signing.
Anton Stralman: The NY Daily News reported that Stralman is expected to file for arbitration by Thursday. An arbitrator is unlikely to award Stralman an absurd amount of money, so there's a decent chance he does come back.
Jeff Woywitka- Woywitka signed a 1 year, $700k contract with the St. Louis Blues. No further explanation needed.
Jaromir Jagr- The former Ranger and now former Flyer signed a 1 year, $4.5 million contract with the Dallas Stars, who are starting to rack up the old and aging veterans suddenly. I was beginning to think Jagr was gonna try to make his rounds to all of the old Patrick Division teams, but the bankrupt Devils and the hapless Islanders aren't attractive destinations at the moment.
Rick Nash: Same shit, different day.
