Comments on: Betts day-to-day http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/02/06/betts-day-to-day/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:27:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jonny D http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/02/06/betts-day-to-day/#comment-66802 Jonny D Thu, 07 Feb 2008 16:00:02 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/02/06/betts-day-to-day/#comment-66802 Yeah all three of them are relatively young. Boyle is the oldest I think at 31. Only problem with them is that you know if we try to get Vinny, he's going to want to cash in. So now we'd have 3 centers all with contract over 7 million. Pointless because either Drury would be a wing or we'd have 3 1st/2nd line centers and there no room for Dubi and Betts. Richards is overrated although hes the best defensive player out of the three, but once again he's also a center. Personally I'd want St. Louis because I can see him and Gomez working well due to their speed plus he can come in off the opposite boards and Gomez can feed him the puck cross ice.

What? This is one of the top scorers in the league. The Rangers would have to give up way too much to get him. Not Gonna happen. Vinny over the hill!!! What?

They are looking to dump salary and they aren't going to maximize who they trade by as much as you are saying. Over the hill stars? Lecavalier is 28 and Richards is 28. They are not over the hill.

That's what Tampa would ask for. If we also want Boyle then throw in Sanguinetti also. Why not just blow up the team for another over the hill superstar. Didn't the late 90's teach us anything? any deal involving Richards or St. Louis would start with Staal, Dubinsky, & Montoya. That’s what Tampa would ask for.

I believe the problem for most teams is not wanting to take on big salaries because of the salary cap. Beer Me, I don't necessarily think that the no-trade clause would be a problem. I'm not sure that St. Louis or Richards are married to Tampa Bay. Now if the rangers could get one of the other two, then that would make it easier. It all depends on what Tampa would want for one of them or one of them and Boyle. Lohan, I don’t necessarily think what is offered is the problem.

He's the only one not producing? I wasn't aware of that. What does that mean Shanny, Avery, Prucha, the fourth line, etc. are doing? If what you call what they are doing producing, then by all means keep saying that Jagr is the only problem. Rob L., really? the only move we need to make is trading Jagr?

He's not producing and he still has great value to a cup contender. Trade him for prospects and a 1st round pick. the only move this teams needs to make is to trade Jagr.

Not that I don't believe they would waive them to come to NY, but it adds to the complexity to the deal taking place. I think it's St. Louis & Richards with the clauses. I'd like to grab Prospal, he's got 1 more year on his deal (i think), so they may not want to deal him. Rob – the only problem with 2 of those guys is that they have no-trade clauses.
