Foreign Talent

Have the Rangers announced any signing or potential signings of their european prospects? I know because of the potential lockout, teams are a little tentative, but let me know if anyone heard anything?

Marek reportedly wanted a one-way contract and the Rangers offered him a two-way so he'll remain in the Czech Republic. I don't believe they offered a contract to Prucha, and little to nothing has been said about Immonen, other than he's signed by his Finnish team so it would seem highly unlikely he'll be over this year.

Kondratiev is under contract so seems likely to be available to the Rangers, though Henrik Lundqvist will remain with Vastra Frolunda as he is under contract.

i've heard from a fin poster that immonen was exploring the idea of coming to the rangers earlier in the summer, but decided to stay with his team another year...his contract this year has an out in it that lets him go to the NHL if he wanted, but it appears with the lockout and the chance to be the #1 center on his team and all he'll be fine staying in finland

Kondratiev will definitely start this yr if there is an NHL.
