MDZ has not done that yet.<br /><br />And please no to this "9 games" nonsense because having that hanging over his head could do a lot of damage to his confidence.<br /><br />I have seen prospects struggle with game and confidence after the 9 game cut. We are talking 18-19 yrs here not grown adults, the worst thing to do to a kid is to fill him with self-doubt then he tries too hard to over-compensate by trying to play risk free hockey. <br /><br />We all know what happens when you play not to make mistakes.<br /><br />If the Rangers are going to keep him then tell him to go get a place to live and tell him he is there for the season. It may be the bad move in my book but make the best out of it.Jess Rubensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086094927046897195noreply@blogger.com
