Pat Leonard@PLeonardNYDN · 31 mins31 minutes ago #NYR have cut Conor Allen, Mat Bodie, Chris Bourque, Ryan Bourque, Tommy Hughes, Danny Kristo, Jason Missiaen, Nick Tarnasky & Petr Zamorsky
Given what Duclair has done so far, I don't agree that its more than likely that Fast plays over Duclair. I think its the opposite. If Duclair shows in the regular season that he can produce points, I'm almost positive that he will be in the lineup.
Rumor..... Rangers trading Kristo or now it looks like Conor Allen to make room for Duclair and his contract among the 50.... Hunwick suppopsedly in the lead for 7th dman, Mcilrath has an outside chance
Andrew Gross@AGrossRecord32s32 seconds ago Marty St. Louis, who was at center in PP drills today, will be tried at center in one off last 2 preseason games.
I absolutely agree that Duclair should make the team, but my pessimistic self doesn't see the Rangers going for it. Maybe I've just been a fan of depressing teams (Jets, Rangers, and Univ of Michigan sports) for way too long.
Don't like the idea of trading Allen. The Rangers don't have that many good defensive prospects, and with so many of the Rangers defenseman having unsettled contract solutions going forward, I don't like the idea of trading any of the defensive prospects.
Watched the Pens-Jackets game 6 last week, Jackets came back from 4-0 deficit to make it 4-3, Glass and Stempniak had two shifts in the last 2 minutes and were on the ice at the end
Here's one for JE: Pat Leonard@PLeonardNYDN · 51m 51 minutes ago Senators named Erik Karlsson their captain today
The BJ's are a good grinding team, they should have a good year. Not nearly as good as the NYRs though

Miller, Kevin Hayes Wings: Lee Stempniak, Chris Kreider, Ryan Malone, Mats Zuccarello, Rick Nash, Anthony Duclair, Jesper Fast, Tanner Glass Defensemen: Ryan McDonagh, Dan Girardi, Marc Staal, Dan Boyle, Michael Kostka, Matt Hunwick Goalies: Henrik Lundqvist, Cam Talbot
