Back home on the Range
For three years, they had been miserable without one another. For three years, neither had played a single playoff game. So, on July 13, Mark Messier and the New York Rangers were reunited. There were smiles, tears, hugs, memories, accolades and promises as the signing of Messier, an unrestricted free agent cut loose by the Vancouver Canucks, capped off an active week for Rangers’ GM-president Glen Sather. Earlier in the week, Sather announced the first significant transaction of his new reign, signing free agent defenseman Vladim Malakhov away from the Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils. Soon after, he announced what had been anticipated for several weeks—the hiring of Ron Low as coach, with Ted Green and Walt Kyle as his assistants.

Flames add puzzle pieces under Button’s leadership
Slowly but surely, the reshaping of the Calgary Flames, under new GM Craig Button, is taking place.

Hawks look north to Toronto to fill key off-ice vacancies
The next thing you know, the Chicago Blackhawks will be changing their colors to blue and white. Manager of operations Mike Smith continued to raid the front offices of his former employer, the Toronto Maple Leafs, by hiring Nick Beverley as the Hawks’ assistant GM and Joe Yannetti as director of pro scouting. The highly respected Beverley had been Toronto’s director of player personnel and Yannetti the Maple Leafs’ director of player evaluation. That brought to four the number of people coming to Chicago from Toronto as Beverley and Yannetti joined coach Alpo Suhonen and strength and conditioning coach Phil Walker. “These are people that will allow us to make significant improvements to our hockey team,” Smith said. Beverley, 53, had been with Toronto since 1994. He is expected to oversee the Hawks’ amateur scouting…
