RANGERS ANNOUNCE PRELIMINARY ROSTER FOR 2010 TRAVERSE CITY TOURNAMENT
Forward Evgeny Grachev, the Rangers’ 2008 third round selection, will be returning to the tournament for the third straight season. He will be joined by fellow 2008 third round draft pick, defenseman Tomas Kundratek, who was a member of the Rangers’ Traverse City team last summer. Five players from the 2009 draft class – forwards Ryan Bourque, Ethan Werek and Roman Horak, defenseman Daniel Maggio and goaltender Scott Stajcer – are also back from the 2009 team, as is defenseman Sam Klassen.
Competing in the tournament’s “Gretzky Division”, the Rangers will play round-robin games against Carolina, Columbus and Minnesota, beginning with a September 11 tilt against Columbus’ prospects. Their placement in the round-robin will determine who they face in the championship round that concludes the tournament.

so has McKelvie already got a contract from HWP for this coming year?
I thought all I’d seen so far was that he’d signed an ATO late last season.
But this article says:”Nineteen of the 22 members of the 2010 roster are players whose NHL rights are currently owned by the Rangers. ” and there 3 pure undrafted tryouts – F’s Shinnimin, Martin and D-man Manning.
and at http://buzzhockey.com/index.php?page=about&subpage=the_staff&cat_id=191 :
“2010 was a pretty good year for Chris. He graduated from Bemidji State, was married in May of 2010 and signed a minor league pro contract with the Hartford Wolf Pack of AHL (minor league affiliate of the New York Rangers)”
Obviously NYR have interest, he attended prospect camp as well as this TC invite.
