The Rangers, over the weekend, signed 3 guys I don't think I care about. None of them can have cost us very much, so I wouldn't worry about their salary cap implications. I certainly can't find any contract info on them.
1. Tyler Arnason (Center). 30 years old, 5'11", 204 lbs, free agent. Made the All-Rookie Team going 19-20-39 back in 2002-2003, then never got too much better than that. Went 5-17-22 in 71 games last season. Probably another, smaller 4th-line candidate. Oh boy.
2. Corey Locke (Center). 25 years old, 5'9", 168 lbs, free agent. Has played 5:59 of NHL time ever, 9 shifts on January 8, 2008, in which he went -1, took 1 shot (which was blocked), and won 2 of 5 faceoffs in helping the Canadiens beat the Blackhawks 4-3 in overtime. Another, even smaller 4th-line candidate?
3. P.A. Parenteau (Left Wing). 26 years old, 5'11", 195 lbs, name should sound a little familiar 'cause he's from the Wolfpack. He went 29-49-78 in 74 games there last season, with 142 penalty minutes, which is nothing to scoff at, but there's no real compelling reason to believe he'll necessarily make the squad next season.
We'll see how camp goes, but we could very well see all of these people playing for the 'Pack next season. Just keeping you informed.
