Rozsival stays with the Rangers: As the Rangers waited for news on free agents Jaromir Jagr, Mats Sundin and Sean Avery, they stayed active elsewhere in their ongoing rebuilding process. At the end of Day 1 of the NHL free-agent shopping season, New York returned top defenseman Michal Rozsival and added prime pickup Wade Redden to help him on the blue line. Rozsival returned to New York, where he spent the previous three seasons, for a four-year deal worth $20 million. He was one of the Rangers' key unrestricted free agents, along with Jagr, Avery, and Brendan Shanahan. (Updated 07/02/2008).
Injury Report
Hip - Questionable for start of training camp (Updated - 6/12/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Rozsival scored a career-high 13 goals and added 25 assists in 80 games last season. The native of the Czech Republic has played three seasons with New York after a four-season stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has 46 goals and 173 points in 479 regular-season NHL games. Rozsival notched a goal and five assists in the Rangers' 10 postseason games this year. The addition of Redden could steal some offensive chances away from Rozsival, so consider him more of a No. 4 Fantasy defenseman heading into 2008-09. (Updated 07/02/2008).
