Hartford has 15 healthy forwards and for the most part they're all better than or have more upside than Rueschoff who wasn't playing a lot for the Pack the last month or so. In part I think Rempe made him a bit superfluous this year. Rempe more willing to use his size....more willing to drop the gloves and at least 5 years younger. For a period last year Rueschoff got hot but it waned and he's not gotten back to that point since. I think the Rangers were done with Rueschoff and wouldn't have resigned him this summer. This gives him a chance to make an impression with a different organization.
