Here is your daily collection of morning Ranger links:
- A big question going into training camp this year will be who will play left wing on the first line with Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik. Knowing Tortorella, the entire offense will probably play with Richie and Gabby at some point, but there are only several realistic choices that the coaching staff can go with. [Daily News (Spector)]
- Ruslan Fedotenko said he would love to play the wing on that line, and it's funny because Feds actually was Richards' linemate when they played together in Tampa Bay. [Andrew Gross]
- Some people think that Wojtek Wolski will be the guy to skate with Richards and Gaborik, but that's only if he escapes the Rangers' second buyout period in August. [Blueshirt Banter]
- A goalie expert's take on Henrik Lundqvist, his style of play and how he will hold up as he gets up there in age... [Blueshirt Bulletin]
- Here's a little insight on how the decision went down between Fedotenko and Richards over who will wear number 19 next season (it will be Richards if you didn't know)... [Times]
- Former Ranger prospect Ethan Werek was a "no-show" in day one of Coyotes' developmental camp, which makes me wonder if the Rangers saw this coming and traded him before it was too late. [Five for Howling]
- Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman says that the Bolts are getting closer to a deal with restricted free agent Steven Stamkos, so please stop sending me tweets asking if the Rangers will get him - you know who you are. [Puck Daddy]
- Lastly, the cartoon you see below was sent to me by a reader of the blog, Gary Finkler, who has created his own sports comic blog. This is good stuff and you can check out his other work over at 7th Inning Sketch...
Sauer got his contract - see cap geek. 2 years 1.25.
