The other Badger is on his way to Broadway, too.
Multiple sources have told The Post that Wisconsin senior defenseman Ryan McDonagh will enter into contract negotiations with the Rangers this week, thus paving the way for him to join the club -- and college teammate Derek Stepan -- when training camp commences in September.
McDonagh, selected seventh overall by the Canadiens in 2007 before his rights were dealt to the Blueshirts last summer in the Scott Gomez trade, will sign a three-year Entry Level contract for a base (and base cap hit) of $875,000 as per the CBA. Negotiations over a bonus package are expected to conclude swiftly. [New York Post]

Wisconsin's McDonagh set to sign with Rangers
According to John Tortorella’s favorite beat writer Larry Brooks the Badgers are set to lose yet another player to the NHL and the New York Rangers. Ouch! Check out the early departures for the Wisconsin Badgers so far this season: Cody Goloubef, Jr, Brendan Smith, Jr, Derek Stepan, So, and now possibly Ryan McDonagh. That is quite an impressive group of players.
