Ryan McDonagh has been cleared to play against Chicago tonight. What does that mean for the impending Keith Yandle decision?
The running theme last week was the New York Rangers had shelved the idea of making any decisions with Keith Yandle until they knew what the long-term situation was with Ryan McDonagh. That answer came late yesterday afternoon, when it was announced McDonagh would be playing against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight.
I've thought about this a lot -- and Mike and I touched on it again in last night's podcast -- but I have to assume if the Rangers were waiting for a green light on McDonagh to make a decision on Yandle they're looking to move him.
