Updating yesterday’s story, the Rangers have decided not to sign free agent center Jason Arnott. ESPN’s Katie Strang broke the news earlier.
The 38-year old former Stanley Cup winner met with team doctors, who examined him. He was expected to sign a one-year deal worth a pro-rated $1.6 million. Instead, the team wasn’t comfortable.
Well, that stinks. I am disappointed about this because it’s obvious that this team lacks center depth. Benn Ferriero had one decent game. But it doesn’t solve our secondary scoring. Hopefully, Slats has an alternative plan.
