Ranger FA Stuff

NHL free agency has started and the Rangers have been dumster diving.   They got Michael Grabner, the former Islander and Leaf who is considered one of the fastest guys in the league, though he lacks all other stuff.  They also signed shrimpy Nathan Gerbe, who's good on the kill, and nothing else.  And signed Adam Clendening, a former 2nd round defenseman who will probably be in Hartford.  I think it's clear that once Stamkos wasn't hitting the market, the Rangers took a step back.  They still have to get their cap in order, protect the RFA's and hopefully gather more picks, so I'd assume sooner or later we'll see some trades.  Conservative on Day 1, so far.

UPDATE: Later in the day, the Rangers dove back into the dumpster and found another RHS D in Mike Paliotta.  He'll be in Hartford.  Waiting.  Like we are, but hopefully not dreading, like we are.
