As predicted, Bobby Ryan has been told he is off the market following the firing of coach Randy Carlyle. So don't expect anything to happen in the near term.
With the firing of Anaheim head coach Randy Carlyle - and replacement by Bruce Boudreau - it appears that it's less likely that Bobby Ryan will now be traded.
Well there's certainly been some excitement on the Bobby Ryan front today. It started last night with Larry Brooks' tweet - see beow - and then his follow-up article today in the
New York Post reporting that the Rangers could make a trade
Then the Orange County Register reported this morning that Ryan himself said he wouldn't be surprised if he was traded.
Since then, there's plenty of speculation and rumor on Twitter and in blogs, but Ryan was in the line-up tonight and Brooks tweets that if he was traded tonight, it wouldn't be to New York.
Still there's plenty of fodder, including this one from John Boruk of CSN Phildaelphia, who covers the area where Ryan grew up.
Per Larry Brooks on Twitter the Rangers have had preliminary conversations with Anaheim over Bobby Ryan, though characterized more as "kicking the tires" than any serious negotiation at this time.
Speculation on ESPN Insider today that the performance of Carl Hagelin and to a lesser extent John Mitchell means that Mats Zuccarello will be made available to interested teams.
While John Tortorella previously stated the Rangers didn't call up Zuccarello because they couldn't get him on the top three lines, it's interesting that they overlooked him when calling up Hagelin in particular.
The Rangers continue to look at options on defense, and in particular former Rangers defenseman Paul Mara per Larry Brooks of the New York Post.
The expectation according to the Post, would be if the Rangers can work something out, then Mara would join the team Monday after they return from Europe.
Per the New York Daily News the Rangers have stayed in contact with the agent for former blueliner Paul Mara, but there's nothing imminent on that front.
Per the New York Post, the Rangers reportedly placed Stu Bickel and Brendan Bell on waivers in the hope of picking up some help on the waiver wire.
In addition the Rangers are flying 20 year old Tim Erixon over to Stockholm, should there be no other options.
The Rangers have no time table for the return of the injured Marc Staal, with one report going so far as to say it could be up to a month.
It doesn't look like the Rangers won't take advantage of the opportunity to buy-out Wojtek Wolski according to Andrew Gross of the Bergen Record.
There's been plenty of speculation that the Blueshirts my buy-out the last year of his contract and free up around $3.3M to give them some flexibility going into the season.
The Rangers appear to still be on target to re-sign defenseman Steve Eminger, and may be just waiting for their final major RFA - Ryan Callahan - to have his contract resolved one way or another this week.
The Rangers may also look to get themselves some Cap room by buying out Wojtek Wolski of his final year according to the New York Daily News. The move would save the Rangers around $2.9M this season.
