The Rangers announced today that they have signed 2008 1st round pick Michael Del Zotto to his first pro contract:
Highlights from the story on newyorkrangers.com
Del Zotto, 18, skated in 62 games with the Oshawa Generals and London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) this season, registering 13 goals and 50 assists for 63 points, along with 78 penalty minutes. The two-time OHL All-Star finished the season ranked sixth among all OHL defensemen in scoring and assists, while his 50 assists tied for 11th in the league overall. He also ranked fifth in the league with 32 power play assists.
The native of Stouffville, Ontario, was the Rangers’ first round choice, 20th overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The selection marked the third time in four years the Rangers have chosen a defenseman in the first round, having drafted Marc Staal with the 12th overall pick in 2005 and Bobby Sanguinetti with the 21st overall pick in 2006.
Busy day today, news-wise for the Rangers and the NHL.

Awesome, it would be great if he could pull a Marc Staal and make the team out of camp.. unlikely though. At this point, a year in Hartford might do better for his development than another year in the OHL

I think even if he shows enough to make the team
that he still is gonna be sent down anyway, kinda like Staal.
I’d like to see Sanguinetti make the team this season.

staal never played for the 'pack
in the regular season, he caught them in the playoffs on the back end of his OHL season and then made the team out of camp and never was sent down
