NYR saying expect a transaction with Emerson Etem later today. He's not at practice right now.
NYR at practice: Miller-Brass-Zucc Nash-Step-Megna Lindberg-Hayes-Fast Glass-Moore-Stalberg; McD-G Staal-Boyle Yandle-Klein (Kreid-McIrath)
Chris Kreider skating as an extra d-man with Dylan McIlrath. So, maybe not tomorrow for return from right hand laceration.
Via Adam Rotter SNY: There are a couple of potential transactions with Etem. He could be traded, sent to Hartford on a conditioning stint or possibly loaned to a team in Europe which would take him off the roster but allow the Rangers to keep his rights.
In general, Etem has been a bit of a disappointment since coming over in the Hagelin trade. He started slow in training camp, was scratched for a while, got in a few games, played a few good ones, but overall he has been inconsistent. He has the talent to be a player, maybe even a top-six player, but he isn't showing that on the ice.
While Etem was thought to be a pretty nice get for Carl Hagelin, young/cheap player with upside, the bigger part of that trade was getting the second round pick and taking Ryan Gropp. Hopefully Gropp works out much more so than Etem has.
