Malik Being Shopped & Baranka to Be Called Up?

Steve Zipay over at Blues Notes seems to think that the Rangers are shopping Marek Malik and that Ivan Baranka will be called up if that happens...

"...No word on playing status of Marek Malik, but I've gotta think he's being shopped.And if he's traded at some point before the holiday roster freeze---with no d-man coming back---I'm thinking Ivan Baranka will be up for a longer look-see.

Baranka, 22, earned an assist---his first career point---on a Colton Orr goal in Tampa. He played when Michal Rozsival was scratched to rest his bruised knee. Baranka, the Rangers' second-round pick in the 2003 draft, could play alongside Paul Mara..."

...obviously Zipay is only speculating but this would be a move that every Ranger fan would endorse.

...speaking of Hartford defenseman, what happened to Thomas Pock? I've been asking for this guy to be called up lately and not a mention. It looks like he has really fallen off the map. I guess he regrets re-signing with the Rangers for two years.

Doesn't Pock have to clear waivers before being called up now?
