Rangers Make More Cuts

The Rangers today ended the tryout deals of Exelby, Semenov, and Manning, who will go back to Juniors for an over age season. They also sent down Grachev, MZA, Byers and Weise among others. Surprisingly, Michael Sauer seems to have intrigued them and is still with the team. They're down to 9 defensemen and will have to move or waive two more before the season. That they have retained Sauer and Valentenko makes me wonder if they have something cooking with Rozsival or Gilroy or both. Or perhaps they would pair Sauer or Valentenko with Rozsy to bust a move. It's interesting because they did keep Eminger, who seems to be cut out for the 7th D role. Go Rangers!
