Comparatively speaking, the Rangers had a robust rookie presence in their lineup over the past few seasons.
Between the emergence of the Towering Twins, Matt Rempe and Adam Edstrom, Will Cuylle’s immediate impact and the fast-tracked opportunity for Brett Berard, the next wave of homegrown talent already has splashed onto the New York hockey scene.
None of those aforementioned players, however, are considered rookies anymore.
Rempe, Edstrom and Cuylle should be on the Opening Night roster, while Berard certainly will be in the mix after appearing in 35 games for the Rangers last season.
