Teams want to start moving players through waivers now. Little chance any of these guys get picked up although I could see a team like Buffalo or Arizona biting on Kincaid. Lots more will be waived every day from here on.
Frankly. If a team bites on Kinkaid, while I’d be a bit disappointed for us, with a goalie I just wish them luck. It’s such a rough career. 64 jobs! If he can snag one, “mazel tov“!

Would love to see Hadfield earn a deal just because that would be cool.
 
McKegg cleared waivers, NYR announced he's been reassigned to the Pack.

Should be a strong Pack team this year... still, it will never be the same watching them without the Hawk, Bob Crawford, calling the games... damn...
 
Has anyone heard the rumors of new uniforms to make them more streamlined with the Rangers?
 
here is schedule of Pack pre-season games - starting TOMORROW!

NEW YORK RANGERS ASSIGN SIX TO HARTFORD WOLF PACK | Hartford Wolf Pack
The Wolf Pack will play three preseason games as part of Training Camp 2021.

So what do we think the pairs end up as?

Jones-Schneider
Robertson-Bitetto
Reunanen-Skinner

Damn Tarmo goes from #1 defenseman to the third pairing.

There's probably still 1 D coming down from NY (Hajek? Tinordi?)... loaded on D. Then again, in the AHL you got quite a few 3 games in 3 days, many back-to-back, injuries and of course call ups... wouldn't be surprised if they kept 8 Dmen.
