In the Rangers 2-1 shootout victory over the Nashville Predators Saturday afternoon, the Rangers were a disappointing 0-4 on the power play. In the Rangers last five games, they have gone 4-21 on the power play, and they have dropped to seventeenth place in the NHL when it comes to power play percentage.
Free agent defenseman, Marc-Andre Bergeron, is currently talking to 10 different teams regarding a contract. One of those teams are believed to be the New York Rangers.
Bergeron is known for his power play skill, and his ability to quarterback a top power play unit. If the Rangers GM Glen Sather can pull off a low-cost, low risk one-year contract to acquire Bergeron, he will. Sather is currently in search of a left-handed, veteran defenseman, and he would prefer a power play specialist such as Marc-Andre Bergeron.
Bergeron would be an excellent addition to the current New York Rangers roster, and since the 2010-11 NHL season is still very young, a small acquisition like Bergeron would not have a major effect on the Rangers current game plan.
Expect Bergeron to sign very soon, as he has recently been cleared to play, and expect the Rangers to be top competitors in the Bergeron sweepstakes.
