The New York Rangers announced that one time Wolf Pack and current Rangers center Brandon Dubinsky has somehow broken his left leg, specifically a stress fracture of the fibula.
The odds are someone is going to be called up, but technically the Rangers don’t need to. Kris Newbury can play center on the fourth line and Dale Weise can come back in the lineup and move Chris Drury or Mats Zuccarello up.
The other option that the Rangers could be considering is making a trade. The only issue being that people know the Rangers are over a barrel right now and the cost will be higher than normally would have been.
Which of Don Maloney’s players do you think that he and Sather have been talking about moving for the last month or so but that this injury expedited?
Here’s a dopey guess completely out of the blue…Lauri Korpikoski?
Here’s the official release:
