#rangers released Maxim Lapierre. He’s looking at a couple of offers in Europe. #tvasports

The first surprise out of camp (albeit very minor) is Bodie heading to Hartford ahead of John Gilmour, who along with Clendening have played well on defense. As well as Ryan Graves who survives one more round of cuts. He doesn’t require waivers so there’s no risk in the Rangers keeping him a bit longer.
AV gave Max Lapierre more of a look than I expected him to get, but his frequent trips to the penalty box didn’t help him at all this camp. He’ll almost positively find work in Europe.
