Blueshirt Banter, a New York Rangers community

Also via @capgeek on Twitter, the Rangers have signed Ryan Bourque to a 2-way, 3 year deal worth $1.97m total, that pays $67.5k per year at the AHL level. He has a 26-31-57 line in 47 games with the Quebec Ramparts of the QMJHL. Update by Dave: Also, as per Larry Brooks, the Rangers are set to sign Carl Hagelin upon the conclusion of the Michigan season.

From one of my favorite hockey blogs outside of this one, Hockey or Die: "Derek Boogaard played less than 6 minutes per game in 2009-10, and he only dressed in 57 games with the Wild. Sather, apparently, has bigger plans for Boogaard on his roster. As the guys at Hockey Wilderness have pointed out, Boogaard would make $4707 per minute with his new deal based on his totals from last season. What could possibly (dementia) have convinced Sather that the same problems his club faced with Donald Brashear wouldn’t resurface with Derek Boogaard?"
