Since It Is The Offseason, How About Some NYR Trivia?

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Roman Hamrlik…on second glance I see he had zero points with us in twelve games.

Yeah, not the best pick up.

Sean Avery? (claimed from Dallas), it is so difficult to find who was actually claimed off waivers.

Avery got his first point in his 2nd game after being claimed off waivers.

Prior to Matt Puempel, who was the last player who registered a point in his Rangers debut after being claimed off waivers?

Eric Christensen?

Eric Christensen?

Darth Vader's cousin unfortunately went his first 8 games without a single point.

Got a goal and assist in his 9th game, a 2-1 win in Carolina.

Brassard for sure. I don't think Step did, but I'll guess him too.

The other you have to go back to the original six era.

Bruce McGregor?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Phil Goyette ?

Bruce McGregor?

Both incorrect. I feel this one is going to be a bit too tricky, so if you want me to give you the answer, give me a shout.

I have a couple more ideas.

Jarrett Stoll? I know we placed him on waivers. Not sure how he got here.
Pretty sure this is not correct.

What former Atlanta Flame left New York Rangers training camp and signed with the Boston Bruins?

 

[Mandar]

What former Atlanta Flame left New York Rangers training camp and signed with the Boston Bruins?

Willi Plett?

 

[hackeyman]

Tony Granato for 4 points in his debut.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Willi Plett?

You are correct.

 

[Hitch16]

What former Atlanta Flame left New York Rangers training camp and signed with the Boston Bruins?

I know Joe Murphy came on a tryout for the 1999-2000 Rangers and signed with the Bruins behind Neil’s back. His skates allegedly wound up in the Long Island Sound.

I believe the answer is Willi Plett as I used to collect media guides and remember him listed one year.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Prior to Matt Puempel, who was the last player who registered a point in his Rangers debut after being claimed off waivers?

No one got the answer so here it is:

The correct answer was Bernie Geoffrion, who joined the Rangers on re-entry waivers and registered an assist in his first Rangers game on October 19, 1966

I have a couple more ideas.

Care to venture a guess? Before I give the answer away.
