Harford Wolfpack coach and GM Jim Schoenfeld was promoted to New York Rangers Assistant GM. He replaces the departed Don Maloney who is now the Pheonix Coyotes GM.

I think that this is a logical move by Glen Sather. Schoenfeld is a great hockey mind who has helped turn around a formerly pathetic New York Rangers farm system into one of the best in the league (#6 according to http://www.hockeysfuture.com/nhl_organisation_rankings/). The Harford Wolfpack has been producing solid NHL-ready players (Prucha, Callahan, Girardi, etc.) the last couple years by showing them what it takes it be successful in the NHL. They even have the same offensive/defensive systems as the Rangers club, so that there is an easy transition between clubs. It seems that Schoenfeld has an eye for talent, so the promotion was a no brainer.
