New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the team will open 2023-24 Training Camp, presented by Northwell Health, on Wednesday, September 20 with off-ice testing. The team will hold its first on-ice session on Thursday, September 21 at the MSG Training Center in Tarrytown. Training Camp will run until Sunday, October 8 and includes six preseason games - September 24 at BOS (5:00 PM ET), September 26 vs. NYI (7:00 PM ET), September 28 vs. NJD (7:00 PM ET), September 29 at NYI (7:00 PM ET), October 4 at NJD (7:00 PM ET), and October 5 vs. BOS (7:30 PM ET).

This fall, the club has invited 58 players to Training Camp, broken down into 32 forwards, 20 defensemen and six goaltenders. Twenty players played at least one NHL game for the Rangers last season while off-season additions Alex Belzile, Nick Bonino, Nikolas Brouillard, Mac Hollowell, Connor Mackey, Riley Nash, Tyler Pitlick, Jonathan Quick, and Blake Wheeler will represent the Blueshirts for the first time. 2023 NHL Entry Draft selection Dylan Roobroeck will also attend camp.

More than half of the training camp roster has no chance of being on the opening night roster.

That’s because Panarin produces plenty just not when it really counts.

Why did the Blackhawks decide he was the guy who had to go when they were breaking up what was at the time considered a potential championship squad?

 

Was there something going on behind the scenes with Panarin?  He looked like a star on the rise and he fit pretty well with their best player.

This is really good news, IMO. Rangers' need the help on the right, and Laugh needs the most opportunity to play, which will also only come there. Make it work.

A lot of the Blackhawks player leadership wanted Saad back. They were livid when it turned out Panarin was the one moved to acquire him. Saad was cost locked and they couldn't sign Panarin long term. 

 

This information is all readily available, I don't know why we have to make things up about behind the scenes issues that never existed. There's a reason Kane wanted to come to New York.

They felt he wasn’t what the team needed to succeed in the playoffs.

They were livid about Hjalmarsson being traded. He was there for a long time and for the Cup runs.

Makes total sense. His job to lose, really. If he does, they have Wheeler as insurance (on the right) and Laugh will go to the third line.

Aren't your tired of being wrong? Just go away already.
