    Look, there may be some validity to this point, however, I stand by my statement: If that was the BEST Sather could do, I'd rather he held on to Talbot, either as an iron backup for one more year, OR take a chance and trade him later.

    OK, so the consensus here is that the NY Rangers should give 6M to a player who for the 2014-2015 season waswas:

    Ranked 32nd among centers in Points
    Ranked 56th among centers in Goals scored
    Ranked 96th among centers in Shot %
    Ranked 192nd among centers in Faceoff %

    Please, stop the insanity.

    Still had till the trade deadline to dump him.....Jimmy Hayes is a very servicable player and would have helped us out especially at 6'6", rumors all ove hf boards that Slats is still trying to grab him

    Sounds like Gorton will be named GM at 4 PM. Sather remains as President. Couldn't they have done this BEFORE free agency and not right in the middle of it? Silly.

    Two minor leaguers and Viktor Stahlberg who spent most of last year in the minors, 6'3" and fast, like Benoit Pouliot, scored 22 goals 3 years ago

    Caps signed Justin Williams for only 2 yrs. and $3.25M per. That stings.

    At this point really hope they can find a bite for Klein in a straight up hockey trade for a middle six 20 goal RW on a similar contract. And of course, dump Glass for a 2050 7th rounder.

    Nash-Brassard-Zucc
    Kreider-Stepan-???
    Miller-Hayes-Etem
    Stalberg-Moore-Fast

    If they can make that type of trade for that 2nd line wing that's some forward depth.

    Rangers hoping Magnus Hellberg develops into backup goaltender for next season, if Raanta wants bigger money, Hellberg is 6'5" and positionally very sound, Allaire will love him

    St. Louis officially retires. He was a great player. One of my favorites. Looking back on the Rangers/Lightning trade, hard to say if it worked out or not, but the Rangers made a Stanley Cup Final appearance, so I would still have pulled that trigger.

    This saves AV who didn't have the stones to demote him

    Caps now have Oshie and Williams meaning Joel Ward is most likely not coming back. I don't think he is a good fit but could see us taking a look at him. Also think our slim chances of Patrick Sharp have slightly went up being that WAS had been considered a favorite.

    Whenever I hear the name Martin St. Louis, I will ALWAYS think of this...

    Let's face it gentlemen: Right now, this is not a team that can challenge for a title.

    Don't understand the strategy this off season we are obviously a weaker team, but Gorton says we are stronger
