lets go over who is full of shit so far:

joejoe: promised announcement by yestersday = negative.

Mark: says he “just saw” fox news story on a “Done Deal” = nothing on website = negative.

brklynblue: “JD is saying itâ€™s not official, but will be by tomorrow maybe” what does that even mean? Who is JD? John Davidson? Why the **** would he know anything, why would he comment on this before anyone else?

“not official but officially tomorrow maybe. definitely maybe.”

= negative’d

Okay Alex, great point there too. To be honest, from what I’ve seen of the two of them, I would still take Gomez over Drury in that department any day of the week.

What I like about Gomez is that he’s apparently not afraid to emote his differences with a team mate (or interviewer for that matter). For all his youthful smiling, he really does strike me as someone who does not take shit from people.

I’m a Lundquist fan, but 6.5/year is too much – especially for 6 years. I remember when players had to wait for unrestricted free agency for their payday. I sure hope Lundquist gets closer to his peak level and stays there.

Sather’s hands are tied now for the next 6 years regarding a goalie. $39M over 6 years? Poor fiscal responsibility with the Rangers as usual.

I hate to say it, but the Icelanders-DP deal sounds more reasonable to me now.

Alex seems more interested in a Captain that is for the fans than he is one that is good for the team. Looking more at superficial factors like someone who smiles on the ice and who gives good interviews, rather than someone who knows how to bring the best out of the his teammates.

Beer ME- Well, I have to assume, seeing nothing else (we don’t have video inside the lockerroom) that Gomez is uncomfortable speaking in front of a group… does he mumble and avoid eye contact when speaking to his teammates as a group? I don’t know for sure, but he does that outside the lockerrom…would you want that as your leader?...contrast that with Shanny, who answers questions completely, looks right at the interviwer or camera, obviously isn’t shy, you want a leader who doesn’t care what the situation is they’re going to be unnerved, confident, and know what to say at all times

I still don’t see the Henriq deal confirmed anywhere…. link?

Also, I thought I posted this last night, but sausage guy, don’t act so flabbergasted that I mention Rozy might be eligible for an A. Marek Malik wore the A for several games. Rozy is largely held as our “veteran defenseman” and likely the only UFA we’d be very interested in keeping. I don’t think the idea of him being our defensive captain is that far fetched at all.

That’s also not to say thats what I want.
