According to Jim Cerny, beat writer for the New York Rangers official web site, rookie defenseman Tim Erixon will join the team in Stockholm after practicing with the Blueshirts’ AHL affiliate the Connecticut Whale.
This also paired with the news from NYPost writer Larry Brooks star defenseman Marc Staal could be out for a month.
I believe the sky is the limit for Erixon and I am already of huge fan of his, he posses great offense skills but can can back on D and block a shot for you. Staal is obviously a star and still on his way up, hopefully he will be suiting up soon for the Rangers.
It should be an interesting start of the season.
