Fritsche Dealt to Minnesota


A small deal went down on Thursday, as the Rangers sent oft-scratched Dan Fritsche to the Minnesota Wild for another scratchable player, defenseman Eric Reitz. Fritsche, a Box 23 forward, hasn't seen a great deal of action with the Rangers this season, often skipped over for Petr Prucha, when in need of another forward in the line-up.

This deal has little to do with the pools, as Fritsche doesn't actually have many supporters on the Sheet pool, but may have a small increase in value, if he can get some of the ice-time he wants now in Minnesota. Reitz will be lucky to crack the Rangers blueline this season.
