Hot off the presses in Twitter Land, the Rangers have signed Jason Arnott. The free agent center is a former Cup champion who brings necessary experience to our club. His Cup clinching goal in 2000 with the Devils has been replayed on highlight reels over and over.

Now, the Blueshirts turn to an older Arnott for center help. It certainly is low risk. Arnott is an upgrade over Brian Boyle, who should anchor the fourth line. The question is what does he have left? In 72 games last year with the Blues, he tallied 34 points (17-17-34). He has size and playmaking ability along with a top heavy shot that might aid our power play.

Arnott’s 38. He’ll join his seventh NHL team. The previous six are the Oilers, Devils, Stars, Predators, Capitals and Blues. He also had a second stint in New Jersey a couple of years ago. In 1,117 games, he has 417 goals, 521 assists and 938 points.

The Rangers’ newest center won’t play tonight. We should see him Tuesday against the Flyers.
