Now that Avery had his 15 minutes...

Let's take a look at some other things.

Dale Weise.

The 6'2" 210lb Right winger from Winnipeg was snatched up by Vancouver while he was on waivers.  He's an AHL pro, but with the stocked up top 6 the Rangers now have, there was no room for him.  Last season he had 10 games with the Rangers, 19 PIM, and a -1 rating.  He's a gritty 4th liner, not afraid to drop the gloves when needed.  Although most times the decision was against him.  Gotta give the kid credit for his heart.

Looking ahead to Stockholm.

Who is going to be the wingman on the first line?  After watching the EV Zug game, I'm hoping Wolski will be able to play on the first line with Richards and Gaborik.  Dubinsky could be a good fit, giving him a chance to play with two top forwards who could set him up nicely and open up opportunity for him.  It might give him a burst of confidence to up his game a little more.

Knowing how Tortorella likes to play with the lines, it'll be interesting to see who is on the first line for the first game. And where Christensen will fit in the lineup.

Staal is out for the Europe trip, which is no real shocker.  Pretty vague updates about him on Blueshirt United.
