OHL standout Marc Staal impressed enough in training camp to bypass a stay in Hartford. I am confident Staal will only get better as he develops his NHL game and work hard to shut down kid brother Jordan 8 times per regular season.
Brandon Dubinsky also got the nod as his defensive games improved after a season in Hartford.
22 year old goalie Al Montoya was sent packing to Hartford for what appears to be a third straight AHL season with Steve Valiquette holding down backup duty for Henrik Lundqvist. I look for the Rangers to deal Montoya this season With Henrik Lundqvist cementing his role as undisputed franchise goalie for many years to come.
