FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Summer of Reckoning dawns as the Cam Talbot Auction continues, the Rangers attempting to extract as much as they can on the trade market in exchange for their backup goaltender who has somehow become a luxury in the Presidents’ Trophy winners’ cap-squeezed universe.
Glen Sather, still in place as general manager as the NHL convenes here for its Entry Draft Weekend — commencing with Round 1 on Friday night before Rounds 2-through-7 on Saturday — is expected to restock the organization with a combination of picks and perhaps a prospect in return for Talbot, who has shined so brightly in his two years on Broadway as Henrik Lundqvist’s understudy.
