Rangers Add Defensive Depth to Hartford

Newyorkrangers.com reports that the Rangers have acquired defenseman Matt McCue from the Anaheim Ducks, in exchange for forward Tomas Zaborsky.

McCue, 22, split the 2009-10 season between the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL. He began the campaign with Manitoba, registering one goal and 24 penalty minutes in 10 games. McCue made his professional debut with the Moose on October 3. He notched his first professional point with a goal on November 2 vs. Norfolk, tallying Manitoba’s only goal in a 3-1 defeat.

...nice defensive depth move for Hartford. Especially after losing Sanguinetti, Potter and Heikkinen this off-season.

For some reason I thought I read that the Rangers were no longer affiliated with the Wolfpack as their farm club...

Really Rangers? McDonagh, McIlrath, McCue... Is this just a random trend, or did the equipment guy at the Garden accidentally order a bunch of those tiny "C"s

Always nice to have a tough Dman waiting in the minors in case of trouble through out the season.

Haha I don't think McCue will be spending much time in Hartford. His skill set is more ECHL.
