Larry Brooks at the New York Post reports that if, as expected, the NHLPA triggers the five-percent inflator the Rangers should have $17 million to play with this summer.
...lots of players to re-sign so it's nice to see the Rangers may get more cap room.
Brooks adds that $1.75-2 million of that could be spent on a back-up goaltender and mentions Martin Biron and Johan Hedberg as the top contenders.
...$2 million is more than I'd like to see the Rangers spend on a back-up goaltender. I was thinking more like $1-1.25 million.
Finally, Brooks notes that John Tortorella returned from the Rangers' organizational meetings to undergo hip replacement surgery on Monday, an operation that necessitated a five-day stay in the hospital.
...hopefully Torts has a speedy recovery.
