New York Ranger fans are not going to like this as Steve Zipay reports the following on Brandon Dubinsky at Blue Notes:
Barring a very unlikely 11th-hour change of heart by Rangers general manager Glen Sather, unsigned center Brandon Dubinsky won’t report on the first day of training camp Saturday.
Despite face-to-face talks with agent Kurt Overhardt in the past two days, the sides have failed to agree on a deal for Dubinsky, 23, a restricted free agent who earned $475,000 in base salary last season plus an $160,000 signing bonus. He did not accept a one-year, $522,000 qualifying offer from the club.
“We met with Glen again this morning and couldn’t reach an accord,” Overhardt told Newsday late this afternoon. “He really wants to to play here, but we’re in a holding pattern.” He said that “unless the Rangers call, it’s status quo. Our expectations are not great.”
A holdout—-which Dubinsky believed would not happen earlier in the week—- means the Alaska native who scored 27 goals and added 54 assists in 170 games for the Rangers, will train elsewhere. He had been training at the team’s complex for about three weeks.
