Name Drury the captain already and Gomez and Naslund as the alternates. But of course this is the Rangers so they have to make everything overdramatic and they'll wait until right before their opener to do so. Just end the drama and make the announcement already. No one cares outside of this little circle of fans. Can Renney stop the charade already with the captaincy? Name Drury the captain already and Gomez and Naslund as the alternates.

His skills have never been appreciated by Ranger Mgmt, and if it comes down to him or Kallinin...no contest. Kallinin never endeared himself to Buff people, and he has never shown much in the way of either smarts or guts to challenege for any place on this team.

If any of you believe that, then you really have no clue. Also, when the Rangers are playing a rag tag opponent, saying anyone looks good is meaningless. Personally, I'm not sure why Sather signed Voros or Rissmiller, because he has plenty of options in his Organization for less Dollars... Byers is a more skilled version than Voros (20 plus goals and 150 plus PIM's in Hartford last 2 seasons), and what purpose does Rissmiller serve? Greg Moore can play wing or Center, as can Korpikowski... As for Shanahan...Please can we just turn the page? It's time to say thanks and goodbye.

I think i'd rather have Shanny there than Rissmiller or Voros. I think Freddy Sjoes and Dan Fritsche could well be in Hartford to start the year, or in the stands. As long as Shanny is managed better and rested occasionally he will be a lot better in the 2nd half than he was last season. I like our current 4 centers and wouldn't swap Nedved for Betts or make the sacrifices necessary to get Sundin under the cap. I still can't help thinking the reason for no news is all linked to Sundin, and that despite our cap situation we are THE team. If he was going elsewhere surely he would have signed by now - the other teams (VAN/MON/TOR) have the cap room and virtually no hurdles to sign him. The Rangers, on the other hand, would have to shift at least a few million in salary to make room for Sundin or Shanny or both. Nasty – i choose option 1.

He DID look good last night. BUT during the PP in the middle of the 2nd, he doubleshifted himself, and stuck Gomez on the bench because of that. If he takes a 3rd or 4th line center position, he can't elect to give himself extra ice time, just because the puck's going back into the offensive zone. I've seen him double up TOO much and then be flat-footed when play goes back the other way. Somebody said Voros could be the next Hollweg. I hope not, I'd rather he be the next Avery.

Shanahan playing a much reduced third or fourth line role. Sundin centering a first line. Nedved centering a fourth line. Just something to think about. I still have the feeling that one of these players will be on the Rangers this year. I go on record saying this; If Nedved had it in him to play a complete season like he played last night, I would have no problem with him on this team. I know he had a good year when he played in Edmonton and I believe they even had him playing in the penalty kill there.
