  • Rangers' Raphael Diaz: Promoted to NHL

    Rotowire

    Diaz was recalled by the Rangers on Monday.

    It remains to be seen whether or not Diaz will actually get on the ice for New York. AHL Hartford's season is over and the team may just be looking to add depth. In 37 contests with the Wolf Pack this season, the blueliner netted 21 points including four power-play goals. If he does suit up, it would be the first NHL game of the year for the 30-year-old. What affect a playoff start will have on Diaz's plans to play in the Swiss NLA after this season is unclear.

  • Rangers Place Raphael Diaz On Waivers

    Rotowire
    Diaz was placed on waivers, reports Andrew Gross of The Record.More a necessary deed than a preferred transaction for the team as they cut the roster down to 23, the move allows the organization to protect Dylan McIlrath from the very same process. While most observers felt Diaz outplayed Kevin Klein in the preseason and the team brass is rumored to be actively seeking trades to loosen the roster and salary cap, it appears Diaz will join Hartford of the AHL when and if he clears waivers.

  • Rangers Diaz Won't Go Quietly.

    Rotowire
    Diaz collected a pair of assists in Monday's preseason win over the Devils.With an impressive group of veteran blue liners ahead of him on the depth chart, it appears nothing has changed for the 29-year-old Diaz in his second tenor with the organization. The Swiss defenseman played most of the night with Chris Summers on the team's third-pairing. Diaz will need to string together quite a few of these nights over the next few weeks to have any hope of being team's seventh defenseman on opening night.

  • Rangers' Diaz Battling For Roster Spot

    Rotowire
    Diaz is in close competition with Dylan McIlrath for the Rangers' seventh defenseman roster spot, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.Chris Summers and Brady Skjei are also said to be in the mix. If Diaz was to impress in camp and land the job, it's highly unlikely that he would play enough, let alone produce with the puck. His best offensive season came in 2011-12, when he posted 16 points with Montreal.
