Much of the attention when the New York Rangers open rookie camp on Wednesday will be focused on whether forward Gabe Perreault, their top prospect, is ready to grab an NHL job. Though the 20-year-old was scoreless in five games with New York in April after signing with the Blueshirts, he didn’t look out of place.
But the son of former NHL center Yanic Perreault isn’t the only young player with NHL experience who’ll be at camp looking to earn a full-time gig with the Rangers. Forwards Brett Berard and Brennan Othmann, who’ve spent time with the Blueshirts, also want to be on Broadway in October.
