According to Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants, the Blueshirts have announced their second cuts, trimming the roster down to 25.
Defensemen Ilkka Heikkinen and Corey Potter have been sent down to the Hartford Wolf Pack, along with goalies Chad Johnson and Matt Zaba. Center Paul Crowder was also shipped off to the Pack.
With these cuts in effect, along with the re-signing of Brandon Dubinsky, the current camp roster for the Rangers is as follows:
F: Artem Anisimov, Sean Avery, Brian Boyle, Donald Brashear, Ryan Callahan, Chris Drury, Brandon Dubinsky, Marian Gaborik, Evgeny Grachev, Christopher Higgins, Ales Kotalik, Enver Lisin, P.A. Parenteau, Vinny Prospal, Aaron Voros.
D: Michael Del Zotto, Matt Gilroy, Dan Girardi, Wade Redden, Michal Rozsival, Bobby Sanguinetti, Alexei Semenov, Marc Staal
G: Henrik Lundqvist, Steve Valiquette
The roster is a bit larger than head coach John Tortorella thought it would be at this point, but so many players have showed that they deserve a spot on the roster, so the evaluating from behind the bench will continue. I expect the final cuts to be announced sometime later this week. (Sent using my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry)
UPDATE (9:15 AM): Just found out that the Rangers have waived forwards Pat Rissmiller and Tyler Arnason. No real surprise there.

I think out of the offense boyle is gonna get cut... Think there gonna keep Voros Cause it finally looks like he learned to play physical during the off season. And on D like you said G-man and Zoto will take the spots and semnov sangs will get cut or one will be used has a seventh defensemen
Yes, you make a good point. Voros has actually been pretty impressive with his skating as well.
If anyone is a seventh d-man, I think it will be Semenov.
