The Rangers have announced their next round of cuts, and the big name is Lias Andersson being returned to Hartford.

  • Returned to Hartford: Andersson, Steven Fogarty, Libor Hajek, Ryan Lindgren, Michael Lindqvist, Ville Meskanen, Rob O’Gara
  • Waived (to be sent to Hartford): Chris Bigras, Peter Holland, Marek Mazanec, Cole Schneider, Dustin Tokarski

The rest of the players sent down aren’t overly surprising, but Andersson had a relatively strong preseason and was penciled into the starting lineup. Remember though, this season isn’t about rushing the prospects. He will be back, and this is not a move in the wrong direction for him.

Another surprise: Brett Howden made the club over Andersson. Good for him. He also had a very strong camp.

Matt Beleskey, Boo Nieves, and Brandon Crawley are still with the club due to injury. A team cannot waive/demote a player who is injured. Here is your final roster:

The Rangers have a very good forward group. Also, as expected, the Rangers are keeping eight defensemen for the time being.
