Today is September 27th. Okay, big move from the Rangers regarding their backup goalie situation. They're planning to put Dylan Garand and Taylor Raddysh on waivers this Sunday. This means they're officially naming Joonas Korpisalo as the number two behind Igor Shesterkin this season.

Now, letting Garand go could be risky. If another team claims him, the Rangers could lose a promising goaltender for nothing. But they believe Garand still has room to grow, and getting number one goalie reps could be a game changer for his development. If Garand clears waivers, he'll likely step into the top goaltending role for AHL Hartford. That would be a solid opportunity for him to gain some crucial experience. Definitely a smart strategy if they can hold on to him.

On the other side, Raddysh had a decent run last season with 19 points in 68 games. He's been more of a role player this camp, fighting for a spot against guys like Matt Rempey and Jaroslaw Schmelar.

That's a tough competition to be in for sure. So the Rangers are making some bold choices as they tune up for the season. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out and if they can keep Garand in the fold. That's your update from New York Rangers News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
