Rangers Do Something Unusual

Over the past two days, the Rangers have signed both of their first round picks to ELC's.  That's really unusual.  I can't remember the last time they have done that, though it may be because neither pick has a college commitment, like Kreider, Miller (who backed out and played Junior Hockey) and Skjei did.  In fact, even with their picks who haven't gone to college, like McIlrath, they haven't signed them right away.  I guess this migh be to get them in Hartford right away, but at 18 and 17 on draft day last month both Andersson and Chytil will be very young for league.  Could the Rangers really see both guys as that close and not want them back in Europe for a year or so?  We'll see, but after the way they dominated the other prospects, I guess it's a possibility.
