I feel really reluctant to talk too much about it because this is only the first step in what we are trying to do and what we are trying to accomplish. There are more goals to achieve and there is a bigger picture ahead of us.

We are looking to develop the next generation of great Rangers players, ... Our goal is to continue to improve as the season moves along and to continue to develop the many great young prospects we have now.

Kevin has demonstrated continued improvement in each of his last six National Hockey League seasons. His years in Carolina were marked by several standout performances and we feel he can provide stability and leadership to our goaltending position while several of our young prospects develop.

Martin is a skilled, character player who plays a complete game. His skill will complement our team's offense and special teams play.

Al is one of the top goaltending prospects in hockey and we are extremely pleased to have signed him, ... We feel this will be a big step for Al in advancing his development. He has been working extremely hard this summer and we are looking forward to seeing him on the ice at training camp in September.

The shot he got off after he cut toward the net was just a blur, ... I don't think that any goalie could have stopped it.
