Rangers Don't Offer Peca Contract

John Dellapina of Daily News just reported on his blog that Don Meehan, Peca's agent, has just confirmed (per telephone interview) that the Rangers have decided NOT to offer a contract to his client. A Rangers spokesman added that the decision was made, because the organization wanted "to give our young guys a chance (at the vacant 3rd line center position)."

Although I do believe that Peca would have helped the team, I am quite impressed by the organizations continued commitment to its youth. Whether this means that a center like Dubinsky or Anisimov makes the team to fill that center spot or whether another winger like Dawes or Pyatt makes the team with Straka centering the third line, we won't know until training camp.
