Chemistry the Key

Ryan Kennedy at The Hockey News has this to say about the Rangers...

"If the New York Rangers find chemistry amongst a crop of new faces, including Wade Redden, Nikolai Zherdev and Markus Naslund, the team certainly has the goaltending and depth to go far."

...lack of chemistry seemed to be a problem for the Rangers last year. And with the compacted preseason schedule which will include split squads, I'm concerned about the same problem reoccurring this year.

John Dellapina at the Blueshirt Blog says that Tom Renney will have to do some juggling to get enough veteran NHLers into the road games at Ottawa and Tampa Bay to satisfy league minimums. Dellapina is concerned that this will take away from Renney's ability to test various line combinations.
