The saga continues for Emerson Etem and the New York Rangers. Acquired in the Carl Hagelin trade, Etem was expected to add youth and skill in a lineup that was in need of a spark.
Things got off to a rough start right away. Alain Vigneault -- ignoring the fact that Etem was on a new team, in a new system and on a different coast -- didn't love Etem's first preseason showing and he ended up barley making the club (but not starting) out of camp. There were even rumors he might be sent down, which I addressed here.
