Prospect Kundratek Settling In

In his Atlantic Division notes, Chuck Gormley at NHL.com takes a look at Rangers prospect defenseman Tomas Kundratek...

"Currently in his first season in North America, Kundratek got off to a rough start with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL, breaking his hand in a preseason game. Since his season debut Oct. 31 he has a goal and 6 assists and is a plus-5 through 21 games.

Kundratek will not wow fans at either end of the ice, but he can become a solid NHL blueliner if he continues to develop in Medicine Hat."

...right now our best defensemen (Girardi, Staal and Mara) aren't wowing anyone, they're just getting the job done by playing outstanding defense. If this kid can continue to play that way I can't wait for him to get a chance.
