Lundy will HAVE to earn his contract, for sure. Next year, all we’ll be able to afford is inexperienced and mostly first-year defensemen in front of him. He’ll be working up a sweat for sure. So much for his looooove of New York.

It doesn’t take an MBA from Harvard to realize that if Lundqvist isn’t the best goaltender in the NHL, he shouldn’t be the highest paid at that position. Especially when he will be only a RESTRICTED free agent this summer.

Lohan…Beer Me and I have been on the same page with this issue for a long time. I mean about 3 mos ago we all decided no more “This is the lineup I would put on the ice.” Yet we see it almost every day. Total waste of time if you ask me.

It’s one thing to say that Hollweg is good or bad for this reason. Prucha needs to do this more. Etcetera. But I laugh when I see guys talking out of their a$$es about what management decisions should be made. It is one thing to say, I think Jagr should be traded. It is another to say that Hank deserved 6.7mm or 6.2mm or 5.8mm. Who the F knows all the reasons (salary cap, comparative goalies, discussions behind closed doors) that these decisions are made? Certainly not the mamalukes on this blog, me included.

Last year I became email buddies with Dellapina. We still exchange emails now and then. But I learned very fast that not all the things we see on TV, hear on the radio, and read in the papers (or on these blogs…GASP!), are exactly how things are. I cannot remember specifics, but there were times where JDP was like, “Actually, this is how it went down.” Then I was like, “Gee I feel dumb now having not known that and opining the way I did.”

So I chuckle when guys on this blogs (or kids in some cases) spout off like they are the next Stanley Cup winning GM. Like you said, how does everyone have time?

I am a good multi-tasker (comes with the job) and can do about 5 things at once. (My wife REALLY loves this when I am at home watching the Blueshirts, bathing one kid, putting the other to bed, making dinner, etc.) But some people on this blog have A LOT of time to spare it seems.

Also, I like to write on this blog because it allows me to blow off steam when I am nearly ready to kill someone because of the stupidity I see when I watch this team. That being said, I know I am not the next GM after Sather.

I also get enjoyment out of occasionally stomping on someone for an assinine comment when they are talking out of their rectum.

Why dont we let the people in charge of that end do what they think is right and weâ€™ll just worry about our end, which in case some of you guys forgot is to root passionately about our team. LETâ€™S GO RANGERS
——-

Attitudes like that are why the morons in charge of MSG, and the Knicks and Rangers still have their jobs. I’ll stop watching long before I turn my brain off like you suggest. Your mileage may vary.

lohan – I know what you’re sayin, but there’s no point. It’s much easier to come here and skim over ‘those’ posts. Some people are just better at making their opinions sound like just that, opinions.

Does Avery have any value as a free agent? probably not, he’s burned many a bridge in the league.

I’d offering him 2 million a year for 3 years.

Avery has to be signed. I’d say 3 years about 3M per. I think thats adequate enough.

It also happens when you favorite team didn’t make the playoffs for eight years. We’re still scared that whole era of Rangers hockey might happen again.

Just wondering, what would you guys sign Avery for?
