Rumors are swirling involved these 2 groups- CHI/PHI/TB and CHI/TB/OTT. Not sure on which players are rumored to be involved.

 

As long as Khabby is gone and receive a 20-20 or so guy and maybe a pick in return, I'd be all for it.

Where'd you hear this?

Rags make a deal

 

Zherdev/Fritsche to NYR for Tyutin/Backman

Landing Zherdev has raised my hopes a little bit for this season.

 

 

I can't believe we got Zherdev for 2 garbage defensemen. Slats is a magician.

Shows how much Hitchcock wanted him out of Columbus, guess he's not a "two-way" forward, and in that system of his, you have to be.

 

I think it's a great deal for the Rangers, if they give Zherdev plenty of time to settle in on one of the 1st 2 lines.

Zherdev is a lazy player and essentially takes every 3rd day off. He's going to get his points but his laziness and inconsistency is going to drive you nuts.

 

BTW- I hope Wiz recovers quick. If we know we're going to be out our main enforcer for the first couple months, I think we need to go out (go even more over the cap) and sign Laraque.

Renney will set him straight. If he can get Jags playing 2 way hockey, he can get Zherdev to do the same.

Michael Ryder for 4 mill per is high risk/high reward but at least Patrice is back next year. That's like signing a high-impact center by itself.

 

He's had two 30 goal seasons, a 25 goal season, and last year he had an off season. Happens to everyone.

 

I think $4 mil was a rather good signing by Boston who desperately needs offense. Boston also needs to get rid of that grandpa Glen Murray.

Oh Muzz will probably be bought out to get under the cap, they are just waiting on Wideman's arbitration. I agree they needed offense, but a guy like Stillman only got 3.5. Ryder had fewer points than Metropolit last year, doghouse or no doghouse.
