Torts says Tim Erixon will be returned to Connecticut (AHL) after trip, if there are no injuries. Organization wants him to keep playing.

Sounds like Erixon is with the team as insurance opposed to getting regular playing time on the third pairing. No reason to roster the top prospect at this time.

Erixon will start the season on the third pairing alongside Steve Eminger. Last season he scored five goals and 24 points with Skelleftea HC of the SEL. As a well-rounded prospect he likely helps stabilize the blue line with Marc Staal injured.

The Rangers trimmed their roster by eight this morning, down to 25, with defensemen Tim Erixon and Blake Parlett and forwards Ryan Bourque, Carl Hagelin, John Mitchell, Kris Newbury and Dale Weise being re-assigned to Connecticut (AHL).

No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.

Tim Erixon, perhaps the best player for the Rangers during this week, looks like he will compete for a spot on the Rangers blueline this Fall.

Erixon will compete with Michael Del Zotto, Pavel Valentenko and others for a spot on the opening night roster. Following a strong showing at this week's Rookie Tournament, Erixon certainly did not hurt his chances.
