Pucks on Broadway: Analysis, Discussion, and Musings on the New York Rangers

As per TSN, Patrick Rissmiller has been placed on waivers. The 29 year old former San Jose Shark appeared in two games this season, most recently was last night when he skated along with Chris Drury and Markus Naslund.

This saves the Rangers approximately $1 million and perhaps paves the way for another defenseman or it may involve Brendan Shanahan and Mats Sundin. Suffice to say this will most likely not be enough to sign either, but it may be a step in that direction.

I still put my money that this will prompt another defenseman on the Rangers roster.
