NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers have agreed to terms with forward Brandon Pirri on a $1.1 million, one-year deal.Pirri, 25, spent last season with the Florida Panthers and Anaheim Ducks, recording 14 goals and 15 assists in 61 games. His 29 points were a career high.A second-round pick, 59th overall, in the 2009 draft, Pirri has been traded twice and was considered a potential bargain in NHL free agency. Pirri is something of a shootout specialist, scoring on five of his six attempts last season, and that 83.3 percent success rate ranked first among players with at least five attempts.In 166 NHL games with the Chicago Blackhawks, Panthers and Ducks, Pirri has 49 goals and 31 assists for 80 points.

Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview.

For many, its a colder reality, a game of musical chairs with available rides and sponsors, and at some point the music stops and some drivers are left standing without anywhere to sit.So they go looking for something else to make them happy, another car to race. For the three former Sprint Cup drivers competing in the Xfinity Series inaugural elimination-style playoff system, they look forward to the chance to win a championship. They dont seem all that bitter and at least two of them arent looking to run weekly on Sundays.Elliott Sadler spent 12 full seasons in Cup racing, from 1999 to 2010, including participating in the inaugural 2004 Chase for the Sprint Cup where he finished ninth. His JR Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier spent 2014 and 2015 in Cup. Richard Childress Racings Brendan Gaughan has 50 career Cup starts, the bulk coming when he ran the full 2004 season.If you get a chance to be a NASCAR champion -- and I was a fan, a kid at 7 and 8 years old going to these races -- thats all I can ask for, said the 41-year-old Sadler, who has 435 Cup starts. Im in a dream situation with a great team with amazing owners that have given me a great opportunity to pursue my dream with a NASCAR champion.Is it a consolation that its the Xfinity Series? Hell, no. This is a hard-ass sport to be a part of and a hard series to be a part of and any championship in this series or the truck series or the Cup series -- you ask any driver -- will be well-respected and well-earned.Allgaier had the most recent tenure in Cup, and he now has a home at JR Motorsports. His former Cup team, HScott Motorsports, has no confirmed sponsors nor drivers yet for 2017 and it would surprise few if it doesnt field a Cup team next year amid the struggles on the track of drivers Clint Bowyer and Michael Annett.I loved the opportunity and I have a lot of respect for [team owner] Harry Scott and the guys over there, said the 31-year-old Allgaier, who has 76 career Cup starts. But not only is it a challenge to be at the Sprint Cup level, but when things dont go when you expect it to, it makes it even worse and it snowballs and you get to the moment [of uncertainty] that theyre at.Gaughan had a chance to win the 2003 truck title, but was involved in a crash at Homestead that resulted in him dropping from first to fourth in thhe final race.dddddddddddd This is by far the 41-year-old drivers best chance to win a title since then.He said he came part-time to RCR in 2012 to prove I can still race these things at this level. And I did. Now hes one of 12 drivers with a shot at the title as part of the Chase.I have done some great things in my career, said Gaughan, who has two wins in the Xfinity Series and eight in the trucks. Did it end up the way I ever dreamed? No. We all think of Jimmie Johnson and being a six-time champion.But Ive done a lot of things that I set out to accomplish. I still have things left. I would love to get it here in the Xfinity Series.Sadler finished second in the Xfinity standings in 2011 and 2012 and third in 2014. He was sixth last year but was rejuvenated this year with two wins and 23 top-10s in 26 races.We made the move [to Xfinity] years ago, we have been competitive ever since and been a part of the championship discussion pretty much every year, Sadler said. This is fun to me.Im a competitive dude. ... Ive had my fun on the other side of the fence running in the back and the mess I went through with the 19 car [at Richard Petty Motorsports].All three drivers plan to return to their rides next season. Even Allgaier doesnt seem overconcerned about trying to get back to Cup.Im glad to be at JR Motorsports, he said. Weve got great owners, weve got great people. Weve got everything we could ever ask for.I look at those last two years, and I say, OK, I learned a lot, I gained a lot of respect for a lot of people. But I dont miss it.What Allgaier looks forward to is to win a championship in a series where current Chase drivers Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, and Martin Truex Jr. as well as several other notable racers have won championships.Look at Kyle Busch when he started his own Xfinity Series team [in 2012], he didnt win a race [as a driver], Allgaier said. He now wins the majority of the races that he runs [for Joe Gibbs Racing]. This series is as tough as any series as Ive ever been a part of.If you win a championship here, it still says, NASCAR Champion. It doesnt matter that its an Xfinity Series. ... You look at the list of guys that have won the Xfinity Series championship, I would gladly put my name next to any of those guys. ' ' '
