RFA Brodie Dupont signs

           The 23-year-old left wing was moved to center when needed in Hartford...the 2005 third-rounder was 17-22-39 in 80 games in his third AHL season....124 PIM...6-2, 210...A one-year, two-way deal not unexpected...

             Meanwhile, numerous free agent forwards and their reps are saying that Rangers have called/expressed interest....not unexpected either.  In baseball, everybody wants to bring the Yankees into the mix for obvious reasons...
