There has been a lot of talk about Sheldon Souray over the
last few days and whether he would eventually end up a New York Ranger. Hopefully now all of that discussion will
stop. Over the weekend the Rangers did
send scouts to watch Souray play in the AHL for the Hershey Bears and according
to Mark
Spector, the Rangers came away severely unimpressed with what they
saw. The game at the AHL level was said
to be significantly too fast for Souray, and the NHL level is much faster than
the AHL, so there is no way for him to transition to being an NHL player right
now.
This is great news for the Rangers next season, and shows
that while Glen Sather is going to look under every rock to try and improve
this team, he is also going to do his due diligence to make sure any potential
addition will actually add to the team.
Thank you for your hard work Mr. Sather and the scouting
department. Now we move on to see if anything
else might help the club this year or in the future with an eye on bringing
back our own players.
