Newsday has a brief cut on the subject today indicating that Taylor advised Chris that Darby Hendrickson had edged him out for the last spot on the roster. Ferraro elected to accompany the team to France for a tournament. The article added that Ferraro could still make the team if Hendrickson faltered, or Ted Drury fails to recover from his knee injury. Which of course brings up a great subject for conjecture: what does Chris do now? IMHO Ferraro should figure out that he hasn't developed sufficiently for the NHL, and that a return to Maine would be in his best interest. With the Rangers signing Todd Marchant, who is having an excellent stint with the Olympic Team, the situation at the NHL club is even more crowded. Peter will undoubtedly sign with the Rangers after Lillehammer, and neither Marchant nor Peter will likely see much ice time with the parent club in the near future. The Rangers are extremely deep, and the best that Peter or Marchant can hope for would be a late call-up to give the club a boost into the playoffs. Chris undoubtedly wants to stick with his brother, but I think that he should re-assess his situation and forego the pros for now. In fact he'd be better off returning to the Black Bears right now, instead of wasting his time in France. Chris needs to develop, if he has any chance of catching on with the pros.
