Daniel Paille Signing A Short-Sighted Mistake
Sergei Belski-USA TODAY SportsSometimes the New York Rangers just can't get out of their own way.
OK, sorry you're right. A lot of the time the New York Rangers just can't get out of their own way.
On Thursday it was rumored, and then announced, the Rangers had come to terms with free agent forward Daniel Paille. Paille, to that point, had spent 31 games in the AHL registering four points.
The deal is a two-way deal (100K in the AHL and 575K in the NHL) but based off Alain Vigneault's comments about it, it doesn't seem like the initial plan is for Paille to see any AHL time at all. And with Chris Kreider suffering from neck spasms, Paille might play in the very next game.
