Jason Arnott won't be joining the Rangers
Jason Arnott - C - New York Rangers
Jan. 28, 2013 - 11:05 AM ET

Free agent center Jason Arnott will not be joining the New York Rangers after all.

The team decided against proceeding in contract negotiations with Arnott after medical concerns emerged. The Rangers and the veteran center had agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.6 million on Saturday, pending a physical, but he isn't 100 percent healthy. Arnott played through shoulder and knee issues last season with St. Louis and he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery during the off-season.
