The New York Rangers assigned the following players to the Hartford Wolf Pack, their AHL affiliate, late on Saturday:
Luke Adam, Mat Bodie, Ryan Bourque, Brian Gibbons, Ryan Graves, Magnus Hellberg, Brady Skjei, and Chris Summers.

It certainly would be interesting if the Rangers subjected Emerson Etem to waivers.
