Guest blogger: George Grimm … The Rangers’ Andy Bathgate trade

Here today is the first of several guest blog posts from our always-popular volunteer contributor George Grimm, who is writing a book on Emile Francis.

It’s August and we still have two months to go before the NHL season (though we will have World Cup hockey in September this year). So now’s a great time for guest blogs. If anybody has something to say and wants to contribute a guest blog, drop me an email at rcarpini@lohud.com. Thanks.

And thank you again, George.

By George Grimm

For many years Andy Bathgate was the Rangers’ lone superstar — a product of the same Guelph Biltmore pipeline that brought players like Harry Howell and Lou Fontinato to New York.
