Late yesterday, the New York Rangers removed both Morgan Barron and Matthew Robertson from the taxi squad. They are being assigned to the minors as the AHL season is slated to start on February 5.
Rangers reduce taxi squad
With the moves, the Rangers taxi squad is as follows:
- Keith Kinkaid (G)
- Anthony Bitetto (D)
- Libor Hajek (D)
- Colin Blackwell (F)
Throughout the offseason, I noted that Barron and Robertson were both candidates to start on the taxi squad but be sent down as soon as available.
