Stuff you'll know once I tell it to you

--Mike Sullivan, Torts's assistant coach back in Tampa, is now coming to the Rangers as ours. That's unsurprising news for us. Probably means Schoenfeld is heading back to Hartford? Although I wouldn't mind keeping him on as the other bench coach, too - though I have nothing against Mike Pelino. This information provided entirely free of opinion.

--Phoenix signed Korpikoski. No surprises. Sather, are we, like, also gonna sign Lisin? Or was this one of those one-way trades?

--Dane Byers re-signed with us at $500,000, as it turns out. No surprises there either. He's a 4th-line candidate, and possibly one of the extra men on the roster. But possibly not.

--We re-signed Corey Potter, no terms announced, but Steve Zipay is guessing around $590,000, which is as good a figure as any. He probably won't be top 6 this year, but look for him to show his face as a potential 7th D-man now and again.

--The schedule was released yesterday. We open in Pittsburgh. Ironically, I'll be seeing Springsteen in Jersey the next night, but I'll probably try to go anyway. Only time will tell. Also: banner raising. I wonder if there are any statistics on win-loss percentage of Stanley Cup winners' first games of the following seasons. Meh. Not like any of these Rangers were around last season anyhow.
