Niemi Couldn't Be Happier to Be a Ranger

Dan David at newyorkrangers.com talks with one of the newest Rangers defenseman Jyri Niemi about being traded to the Blueshirts from the Islanders...

"This has been a great day for me," Niemi said in a phone interview from Finland on Tuesday night. "This is something that I've been looking forward to for years -- to get a chance to be part of an NHL organization, and I couldn't be more happy right now. I'm just looking forward to joining the team and meeting all the guys."

...Islanders have said Niemi is not an NHL prospect. Which pretty much guarentees this kid is the next Brian Leetch.
