NHL.com has a great article on the development of Fedor Tyutin, Dan Girardi and Marc Staal..."New York Rangers coach Tom Renney almost felt bad, as if his repetitiveness was beginning to sound a bit ridiculous.
Not at all, coach. In fact, each time Renney used the term "two-way defenseman," it further hammered home exactly what New York believes it has in 20-something blue-liners Fedor Tyutin, Dan Girardi and Marc Staal.
While Tyutin, Girardi and Staal still have some developing to do in order to earn the moniker Renney persistently spoke of, the three are good enough right now to help the Rangers in their postseason push.
Not one of the three has reached his two-way potential yet, but together they provide all the necessary qualities, despite an aggregate age of only 68."
...every Ranger fan should be beyond excited about the prospect of having these three guys on the Rangers blueline for a long time. Throw in Sanguinetti, Sauer, Baranka and Pock and we may have the deepest defensive talent in the league. And that's not even including if we re-sign Rozsival, who, at age 29, is still in his prime.
