Not sure on some of that contract stuff. I was recalling that if they added him to the roster, he may have made some trips to Harford throughout the season that MAY have required passing through waivers. Rather than run that risk, and because he was not eligible to play in Harford, they had no choice but to send him back to Junior. Colorado Mark

He either played in the NHL or he played Junior. The NHL has an agreement with Junior clubs so they don't steal their best players and put them in the minors. Next year he could play in Hartford. Also, young players are not subjected to waiver rules. That is for older, experienced pros to protect them from waiver yo-yo moves, like we used to do to PJ Stock. It will be interesting to see what happens to him. Some think he will go to Hartford after his team is eliminated, others think he will go right to the Rangers. His camp this year was not as strong as the camp before. From all accounts he is having an okay year, not as dominating as the previous one (same with his WJC showing).

Malik-Rosy
Tyutin-Girardi
Mara-Staal

Pock or Baranka as 7th

The only reason he did not go to Hartford this season was to protect him from exposure to waivers throughout this season. He will be a year older and stronger and will likely be included from the start of next season. Pock or Rachuneck may be gone.

It would be great if they traded Rosival and Malik and didn't resign Rachunek but when has Sather done anything so obvious. But I can already see the comments from Maloney and Sather that Staal just wasn't ready or he needs time to adapt to the speed of the pro game. I hope I am wrong, but that would mean that Ranger management was truly changing which I will believe it when I see it Don’t get me wrong, I want Staal in the lineup, but Rosival, Mara, and Malik are all locked in for next year as is Toots.

They were pretty high on Staal that last two years. It wouldn't surprise me if he starts the year with the team. I think Roscival (sp?) and Girardi are staying -- Malik's up in the air, Rachunek, Mara, and Pock have a chance to stick around. But it wouldn't surpise me if either Staal and/or Baranka is in the lineup to start next season. I don’t know… They were pretty high on Staal that last two years.

As of now the only potential opening on d is if we don't resign rachunek and I guess if Girardi doesn't make the team. The odds are this team won't look that much different next year seamus i dont think there is space for baranka and staal or more like i dont think sather will think there is space.

If the above is true, does this cause anyone mixed feelings? on another front, the thought of Tytutin (sic) Baranka, Staal, Girardi on defense gives me a good feeling. 4 young defenseman that might all play next year if our philosophy turns more to youth. With Lundqvst politely asking that Malik stop scoring goals against him, and assuming that the other 2 defensemen will not include Malik, our defense could look pretty bright in front of Lundqvst/Montoya (if Mon. is not used as trade bait). anyone?
