If I'm not mistaken, he will report to Hartford on ATO/PTO....
Could replace O'Gara immediately
I don't believe he can sign a try-out with the Rangers.That Drew Cove tweet says he signed at ATO with the Rangers, not Hartford. It could be a mistake, but it would be cool if he's up with the Rangers so we can see how he looks.

ATO- this is an Amateur Try-Out agreement, and is for players who are coming in from college and have never played at the professional level. These type of contracts are common at the end of the season as many players try to break in to the pro leagues after the college or junior season is over. The ECHL, AHL and NHL all use ATOs.
I remember when the Flyers had some injuries one year and had no cap space they used some ATOs to fill their roster, but I don't remember anyone using them like this before.

Sadly it's done its job and gotten him some much needed pub
I will never see another post he makes, however.
