spider – not sure what you were saying re contracts. I do know that by going down to juniors a guy is 1 yr further from restricted free agency and eventually total free agent. hence Del Zotto going to jrs makes perfect sense.

richard as someone answered Del Zotto can not go to Hartford. it is either juniors or NHL this yr for him

It would be a trevesty if Korpkiski doesn’t make the team. Fritcshe has looked real good today too.

Jeever – Yeah, I had taken to that, but still held out hope that links in the post would work, especially since they are more visible there. I like linking my name to Puck Daddy now since there is a great consortium of information there.

On this alternate jersey business, maybe the Rangers could unveil something with the standard shield in front of the Statue of Liberty (maybe like it was on the old NY license plate, not the old alternate jersey, since people seem not to like that, even though I do) with a circle around it a la the Blues and Wild. I think that would be very agreeable. If I could do some sort of photoshop action, I might work on that.

Spider/LI Joe – somebody had a good idea with links the other day, when they couldn’t post them… Put the link in the “Website” box under your Name and e-mail address… Then, there’s no link in the post, but people can click on your name and get it…

This place is fuzzy with links…

How dumb is the front page for the Lightning on tampabay.com right now: “Mike Smith, making a save against the Rangers on Tuesday, was okay last season after coming from Dallas in the Brad Richards trade. But he showed enough to earn the Lightning’s faith.” with a picture that shows about four pucks in it, since it is obviously from practice.

Here’s the link to the pic in case they catch their mistake soon: http://www.tampabay.com/multimedia/archive/00039/lightning_39379a.jpg

Richard – Your logic is still flawed. Sanguinetti, by playing in Hartford this season, will be starting his entry-level contract. Since he will be in the AHL, however, and it is a two-way deal, his salary will be much less than if he plays in the NHL. I don’t know the length of the contract (I think he has signed already), but let’s say it’s three years for $3 million. If he makes the Rangers next season and sticks, he will be getting paid a million bucks for 2009-2011, after which his contract will expire, so we will have to pay him more most likely after 2011 rather than 2012 since the years on the contract still count in the AHL. That’s why you already see players like Dawes needing a new contract, evne though he only played one season in the NHL.

GardenFaithfulinFLA – Thanks for posting the link, as I seem to have been banned from doing that (along with LI Joe, it seems) for some reason. I’m gonna try a post after this with a link in it.

Don’t forget Dale Weise in the equation. He was the most impressive ranger last nite in person outside Fahey. Rismiller looked awful, as did Fritsche.

For the love of god, no Nedved. He reminds of me the time I hate being reminded of in Rangers history.

I am curious what will happen with Korpikoski as well.
