Here are two rumors that are currently floating around the internet, but neither have been confirmed just yet:
The Rangers have supposedly signed free-agent defenseman, Francis Bouillon for 1 year at $1 million. Bouillon, 33, played in 54 games with the Montreal Canadians last season, and recorded 5 goals and 4 assists in that span. In my opinion, Bouillon would be used as insurance, and I will explain why. Sanguinetti, Gilroy, and Del Zotto will be looked at very closely during camp this September. If two of those players listed do not seem to be quite ready for the NHL level, then they have Bouillon to lean on to fill the spot of a third paring defenseman. Francis is not better, but a similar player to Paul Mara, skill wise anyway. The 5-8 defenseman is very aggressive despite his size, and can be a bit of a spark plug on the back end.
A second rumor that has been spread is coming from the Montreal Media regarding RFA forward, Brandon Dubinsky. I made a post the other day saying that Dubinsky was most likely being used as trade bait, mainly because of the fact that he has not been re-signed by Glen Sather and the Blueshirts just yet. The rumor is not saying where Dubi is going exactly, just that he is going to be moved.
Now I do not know how true these rumors are because the sources are not the most respectable, but the word has been that the Rangers have been on the hunt for Bouillon for three days now.
Stay Tuned.....

Dubinsky isn't going anywhere. I guess this madness won't stop until he signs in NY
Puck Central. I believe he is out of NY, How can Sather not give hima deal yet?? Season starts in 2 months and he isnt signed yet?? Hes getting traded!
Good signing for New York if this turns out to be true. Bouillon is a passionate player; the Rangers won't regret this one.
Wonder what this means for overpaid blueliners like Redden and Roszival. I'd have to claim that they would be more likely to move than Dubinsky. He's got a ton of potential and I don't think it would be wise or advantageous for New York to trade him at this point in his career.
As I said, I am not to sure about the Dubinsky rumor, but the Bouillon one seems legitimate. We will just have to wait and see.
Who knows whats going on anymore with the rangers and dubi.Sounds like a circus everytime they talk about this situation.I think they'll sign dubi.....Hopefully
I agree.
