Roster Freeze: Will the New York Rangers Make A Move?

Tonight at mid-night, the NHL's annual roster freeze will go into effect until December 27, 2010. Though it is unlikely that any big moves occur before the deadline, it is expected that some type of mini-move or trade goes down before mid-night.

Will the Rangers make a move?

Well, besides Matt Gilroy and Todd White, the Rangers are not looking to move around many players. Maybe a small trade is made with Gilroy or White included, but a mega-move is not expected.

Another possibility would be a call-up from the Rangers AHL affiliate team, the Connecticut Whale. The Whale play tonight at seven o'clock, and the Rangers may recall a prospect when the game ends. Possible recalls could be forwards Mats Zuccarello, Dale Weise, Chad Kolarik, Jeremy Williams, Kris Newbury, or Evgeny Grachev; and on defense, though it is very unlikely a defenseman is called-up, a few possibilities would be Tomas Kundratek, Pavel Valentenko, or Ryan McDonagh.

Though nothing is expected to happen with the Rangers, there is a small possibility that make a small change.

That's all for now.
