Del Zotto Going to Push for Roster Spot

Rangers scout and former Coyotes GM Micheal Barrett told NHL.com this about Rangers prospect D Michael Del Zotto...

"He's going to push for a roster spot," said Barnett. "He's very creative with the puck. Smart, smart player and great competitor."

...i am by no means a Rangers prospect expert. So in the reading of done on Del Zotto it seems like the jury is still out on him. I've read in some places that he should be sent back to his OHL team, while others think he has a legitimate shot at making the Rangers out of camp.

...if it comes down to Del Zotto getting the seventh defenseman spot (if the Rangers keep seven this year) or being sent back to the OHL, I'd rather see him back in the OHL getting tons of ice time to fine tune his game.
