A day after re-signing defenseman Dan Girardi, The Rangers Report's Sam Weinman notes that the Rangers will annouce today that they have also re-signed Girardi's defensive partner Fedor Tyutin..."Apparenty these are good days to be a Rangers defenseman. Because a day after the Rangers announced the re-signing of Dan Girardi, they’ll be doing the same today with his defensive partner, Fedor Tyutin.
Is there a correlation? Did Tyutin hold out until Girardi signed as well? Is there a clause in their contracts that they have to be paired together at all times? Has the team made up T-shirts for the two that says “DPF (Defensive Partners Forever)?
Doubtful….
No word yet on terms, but I would imagine it’s slightly more than Girardi’s $1.5 million per season. Tyutin is making $1.025 million this season, but with a cap hit of $988,00."
...glad to the see the Rangers continued commitment to young talent on this team.
...in response to bpette's comments regarding my post on Girardi being up and down this year. I definitely feel he has struggled defensively at times. Just because he's been the most consistant defenseman on the team this year, doesn't mean he hasn't been up and down. Especially with the year Roszival, Malik, Mara and Strudwick are having. In fact I feel that Staal has actually been the most consistant defenseman on the Rangers this year.

NYRFAN do you even watch the games?
Can Sather now get Avery signed. If he keeps scoring and playing as well as he has, its going to cost a lot more money. Lets lock him up already
