I think it would a great idea to get Filatov, but there are 2 important questions - what will it cost the Rangers and will the Rangers be able to get Cherapanov and Filatov over to North American to come to training camp, play in HRTFD if need be and play for NYR. I am not confident that the Rangers will be able to get Cherepanov over because of the lack on a transfer agree ment with the Russian hockey federation. Plus the new Russian league seems intent on paying guys millions to play in their new league - what if Cherepanov cant leave the team when his contract ends or gets a deal from the Russians that the Rangers cant match because the rules about offering the max to rookies underthe cap. I don't want to give up Staal, Sanguinetti, Callahan, Dubinsky, Dawes or Callahan to get the #2 pick. Its not worth it. Sam, did you hear any truth to this rumor? A all russian line of Cherapanov-Anisimov-Filatov would be sick though... Broadway Blue, where did you hear this rumor – what sites are you talking about?

I don't care if Avery's dating Jim McGreevy, as long as he keeps annoying Brodeur on the Rangers' behalf....

Hey, ABC? Yeah, this is Brittany Spear's agent. Right. She will be at Burger King in 10 minutes. Ok, bye. Brittany? get moving! 2. "I can't even go out for a burger without being pummelled by the press!", said Brittany Spears.

I wish Slats would drag his ass off the golf course and get some contracts handed out..!!

No reason was given for this, but I suspect it has to do with the date and time of this year's NHL Draft, which will be on Friday, June 20th in primetime at 8pm in the evening. In all of the years past, and I have watched all of the NHl drafts on TV live since 1993, I always remember the first round of the draft taking place on Saturdays with the first round starting at 12pm noon in the past. Just and FYI to all Ranger fans who were planning on catching it. Nick Hey Sam,

That would be $3.4mil per year. Does anyone else remmeber how the Devils traded the rights of Vladomir Malakhov away, got a draft pick, then I think he retired or was, technically, a "no-show" and the team who he screwed over (the Sharks) got a draft pick...something like that (and it alleviated the cap-hit the Devils SHOULD have taken). Do you think we could do that with Drury? Obviously, I joke, but it is amazing how the Devils weasel their ways around the NHL rules.
