Well sort of, according to the great Sam Weinman, Brendan is skating with the NY Rangers during informal warmups. According to Sam, Sather and crew are mum on Shanny's future but Brendan is optimistic something will be worked out.
Personally I have mixed feelings, I am a huge Shanahan fan and the team definitely needs his leadership after losing Jagr, Straka and Avery. But I just don't see where he will fit in. I know he is willing to play any role but I don't see him as a fourth liner and I can't see him keeping up with the first 3 lines. Maybe flanking Dubinsky, that might be the only center I can see him playing well with. Time will tell as to what Sather has planned, hopefully he treats him better than Adam Graves.
