Apologies for the lack of updates on the blog, but with little NYR related news to write home about, it's to be expected. You can always follow along on twitter here.
There was a Rangers signing last night as a report from CSN- Washington DC stated that center Jeff Halpern agreed to terms with the Rangers on Monday night and was later reported by Canadian sources that the terms of the contract are for 1 year and $700,000. Halpern, last season for the Capitals scored 4 goals for 12 assists and 16 points in 69 games. This is an interesting signing in 2 parts. First, this likely means no JT Miller to start the season. Second, the Rangers now have 5 centers (6 if you count Dubinsky) now on the roster and as I said on twitter last night is that I get the feeling the Rangers are getting closer to making that trade for Rick Nash or whoever else is on their radar. Of course, if anything does go down in the coming days, I'll be here to report on it.
**UPDATE** Sometime Tuesday morning, the Rangers agreed to terms with minor league defenseman Logan Pyett. Pyett's two-way contract is only for 1 year with an AHL salary of $105,000 per capgeek. Pyett was 2-25-27 for the Grand Rapids Griffins, the Detroit Red Wings AHL affiliate.
