The Rangers are continuing to add youth to their system. Yesterday they signed three young players they hope will someday compete for spots on Broadway.
One of them has a very good chance of making this year's team, and that is Petr Prucha. If you are a regular reader of this site and the Rodent's, you are familiar with the young Czech. You might also know how angry his former team's GM was that they were losing Prucha. It should be exciting watching him at training camp.
The Rangers also signed goaltender Chris Holt. This adds more depth to the organization's goaltending corps, along with Henrik Lundqvist and Al Montoya.
Rounding out the trio is 21-year-old Finnish defenseman Hannu Pikkarainen. Pikkarainen was an unrestricted free agent, and we don't really have much in the way of scouting reports on him.
The Rodent rants about the phrase "Get this guy" appearing all over hockey message boards.
