i agree with everything that was said..NEED to sign Avery and i think we need to sign Jagr too...I love the youth movement of the team also..With Staal, Callahan, And Dubinsky having another year under the belt, the Rangers have a chance for a special year, if they get there powerplay going for a change
I think Shanahan is done, possibly retirement. Prucha needs to be used as trade bait along with Backman and Malik or Mara. Backman has skills but gives up the puck half the time, and they can't carry both Malik and Mara as the lumbering defenseman.
ok my two cents...go video game dynasty mode style and sign as many good people as possible and drop the scrubs!
just kidding, but seriously, prucha is a bust, dump him on tampa and get someone decent with potential back. then sign a big name to go along with either drury or gomez. then we'd have two big lines with scorers in jagr/straka and drury or gomez/hossa or rolston. would be pretty sweet if that was the case, and wed be a strong force with scoring and goaltending.
does anybody read any of the articles from 1997-2005 all we did was sign BIG names that were busts and how much cap can we afford if we sign jagr that means young alright player not prucha but with little cap hossa isn't coming to New York
Signing Sean Avery is a must, he is the spark plug of this team. And it's fun to see him and his best buddy Martin Brodeur on the same ice togather those two are just magical (sarcasm). And I think we need a tough phisical enforcer type that can chip in on the offense too. Like maybe a Donald Brashear. Another option would be Brooks Orpic although he doesent score hes a pretty good defensive player and can knock your teeth in too. And from what I hear we have started talks with Jagr already so it looks like he will be back. I also like the idea of signing Campbel to point our power play.
