Player apologized for taking his own life Associated Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey -- New York Rangers forward Roman Lyashenko wrote a suicide note, then apparently tried to cut his wrists before hanging himself, a Turkish police officer said Wednesday.
Lyashenko's body was found hanging Sunday by a belt in the bathroom at a beach resort in Antalya, a southern Mediterranean province. He had been vacationing with his mother and sister.
In the note, Lyashenko apologized for killing himself, according to the paramilitary police officer who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The prosecutor's office refused to comment Wednesday, saying the investigation was ongoing.
Lyashenko played regularly with the Dallas Stars his first two seasons in the NHL, then was traded to the New York Rangers in the 2001-02 season.
Last season, he played two games with New York, spending the year with Hartford for the American Hockey League, where he had 23 goals and 35 assists.
In 139 NHL games, Lyashenko had 14 goals and nine assists. The Russian was selected by Dallas in the second round of the 1997 NHL entry draft.
Lyashenko had two assists in nine games at the 2002 world hockey championships, in which Russia captured the silver medal. He won a gold medal in 1999 and a silver medal the year before while playing for Russia in the world junior championships.
Hockeystar Liaschenko: Aids – da erhängte er sich im Hotel
VON CHRISTOPH GRAF
JAROSLAWL (Russ) – Der Tod des russischen NHL-Profis Roman Liaschenko (24) hat einen besonders tragischen Hintergrund.
Am Montag wurde bekannt, dass der Stürmer der New York Rangers im südtürkischen Antalya tot in seinem Hotelzimmer aufgefunden worden war. Liaschenko hatte dort mit seiner Mutter und seiner Schwester die Sommerferien verbracht.
Nun sind in Russland Details an die Öffentlichkeit gesickert: Liaschenko hat sich mit einem Gurt erhängt und einen Abschiedsbrief hinterlassen, in dem er bekennt: «Ich habe Aids und kann mit dieser Krankheit nicht umgehen!»
Liaschenko war in Jaroslawl gross geworden. 1999 war er der Captain des U20-Weltmeisterteams. Danach wechselte der Defensivstürmer in die NHL zu den Dallas Stars und vor einem Jahr zu den Rangers.

The New York Rangers have been strangely quiet during the free agent season, but that will apparently change early next week. Multiple reports in New York are suggesting that the Rangers are very close to signing unrestricted free agent defenceman Greg de Vries.
The New York Times is reporting that de Vries is on the verge of accepting a four-year deal worth $14 million.
Considered a solid, two-way defender, de Vries has spent the last 4-1/2 seasons in Colorado where he has been overshadowed by star defenders Rob Blake and Adam Foote. Still, de Vries has played in more regular-season and playoff games the last three seasons than any defenseman other than Scott Stevens. Last season, de Vries very quietly had more even-strength points (31) than any defenseman other than Sergei Gonchar.
As a rookie, de Vries broke into the NHL in 1995-96 with Edmonton. Glen Sather, the Rangers' president, general manager and coach, was the Oilers' president and general manager at the time.
"Greg has done his homework on the Rangers and they've done their homework on him," agent Pat Morris told the New York Daily News on Friday. "There's definitely a level of mutuality there. But you never know until it's done."
Despite their reputation as free spenders, the Rangers have not signed any free agents yet this summer. And if they get de Vries next week, the Rangers would still only have four players under contract beyond next season – when a lockout is expected. Bobby Holik, Darius Kasparaitis and Mike Dunham are the others.

Greg de Vries, 30, appeared in 82 matches with the Colorado Avalanche last season, registering six goals and 26 assists for 32 points, along with 70 penalty minutes. NEW YORK (newyorkrangers.com) -- New York Rangers President, General Manager and Head Coach Glen Sather announced today that the club has signed unrestricted free agent defenseman Greg de Vries. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"Greg de Vries has developed into a solid, steady two-way defenseman and we are sure that his addition will help strengthen our defense significantly," said Sather. "He will be a great asset to our hockey club."
de Vries, 30, appeared in 82 matches with the Colorado Avalanche last season, registering six goals and 26 assists for 32 points, along with 70 penalty minutes. He established new career-highs with 26 assists and 32 points, which ranked third on the team in scoring among defensemen and marked the fourth consecutive season in which he posted a new career-high in points.

A veteran of eight NHL seasons, de Vries has appeared in 500 regular season matches with Colorado, the Edmonton Oilers and the Nashville Predators, registering 30 goals and 69 assists for 99 points, along with 459 penalty minutes. Since the 2000-01 season, de Vries ranks sixth among all NHL defensemen with a plus-56 rating and is one of just four defensemen in the league to post a plus-15 or better rating in each of the last three seasons. He was acquired by the Avalanche on October 24, 1998 from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 1999 second round draft choice (Ed Hill).

VARIOUS SOURCES REPORT THE NY RANGERS TODAY SIGNED WINGER CHRIS SIMON. TERMS WERE NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.
Spector's Take: My thanks to all of you who sent this in. Rangers GM Glen Sather was believed to be seeking depth on his wings, as well as getting more toughness. It may also be a sign that the Rangers aren't planning on re-signing Sandy McCarthy as their resident tough guy. However, if that's the role Sather foresees Simon as filling, it may be a bad one. Simon's days as one of the league's best tough guys are long past.

New York, 26. Juli Die New York Rangers haben am Freitag Stürmer Chris Simon von den Chicago Blackhawks verpflichtet. Der 31-jährige wurde zu Saisonbeginn von den Washington Capitals, für die er fast sieben Jahre spielte, zu den Blackhawks für den Schweden Michael Nylander getauscht. Vor allem das physische Spiel und die nötige Härte sind die Markenzeichen von Simon, der in seiner Karriere schon über 1300 Minuten auf den Strafbänken der NHL verbrachte. Die genauen Vertragsdetails wurden bisher noch nicht mitgeteilt. In der Saison 1995/96 gewann Simon mit Colorado den Stanley-Cup. Nach Verteidiger Greg de Vries ist Simon die zweite Verpflichtung der Rangers in der Sommerpause, wobei der Broadway-Club alles versuchen wird, um die sechsjährige Playoff-Abstinenz in der neuen Spielzeit endlich zu beenden. http://www.hockeyweb.de/international/nhl_newsfeed.htm
die playoff-abstinenz kann von mir aus ewig anhalten.. ich verstehe die einkaufspolitik der rangers einfach net, kann mir jemand die quintessenz erklären? ..vielleicht das geld muss weg??
------------------------------ GOD is busy .. can I help you ?!
New York, 31. Juli New York Rangers Manager, Präsident und Trainer Glen Sather hat am Mittwochabend bekannt gegeben, dass sich die Rangers mit Verteidiger Brian Leetch geeinigt haben. Der 35-jährige mehrmalige All-Star Verteidiger wird somit in seine 17. Saison beim Broadway-Club gehen. Genaue Einzelheiten wie Vertragsdauer und Gehalt wurden bisher noch nicht bekannt. "Brian Leetch verkörpert wie kein anderer die New York Rangers. Er hat Klasse, Stolz und Professionalität. Er ist einer der besten Verteidiger, die jemals in der NHL gespielt haben und zudem seit Jahren ein Eckpfeiler der Rangers. Wir sind überglücklich, ihn auch in der nächsten Saison in einem Rangers-Trikot zu sehen", so Sather über die Weiterverpflichtung.
Mir losse de Leetch in New York, denn da jehört er hin! Konnte mir gar nicht vorstellen, daß Brian Leetch überhaupt mal bei einem anderen Team spielt.
****************************** Scott Stevens - You better Don´t Touch Him
Könnte mir jemand dieses Deal erklären Erst wurde mit Brian Leetch keine Einigung erzielt, er kam bei Edmonton unter und nun ist Er wieder zurück in Town Wollten die Rangers/ der Spieler die Free Agent Regelung umschiffen
Weis es jemand Weis es jemand aus der Klappe *****************************************************************
In Antwort auf:Edmonton, 1. Juli Die Edmonton Oilers haben sich die Rechte an Brian Leetch, dem Star-Verteidiger der New York Rangers, gesichert. Im Gegenzug erhielten die Rangers den finnischen Keeper Jussi Markkanen und ein zusätzliches Draftrecht. Der Tausch kam zustande, da Leetch sich nicht vor dem 1. Juli mit den Rangers einigen konnte und der Broadwayclub so wenigstens etwas für Leetch erhält, was nicht der Fall gewesen wäre, wenn Leetch als Free-Agent bei einem anderen Club unterschrieben hätte. Wo der mehrmalige All-Star allerdings in der nächsten Saison spielt, ist noch lange nicht entscheiden. Für die Oilers selbst ist der 33-jährige Verteidiger sowieso viel zu teuer. Zuletzt verdiente Leetch knappe 10 Millionen Dollar. Leetch kann nun mit allen Clubs frei über einen neuen Vertrag verhandeln, auch eine Rückkehr zu den Rangers scheint durchaus im Bereich des Möglichen. Die Oilers erhalten dann von Leetch's neuem Team als Ausgleich ein Draftrecht - wahrscheinlich der zweiten Runde hockeyweb.de
Man gibt nen GK und nen Draftrecht ab und dann bekommt man wieder nen Draftrecht...
