I do and don’t think Mara’s replaceable. He’s not a “high-end” type of Defenseman. But he’s a good solid guy, who’s not afraid to hit and be physical and doesn’t make many mistakes. That and he loves playing for the Rangers. That makes him more valuable to the organization.

Well, apparently it’s a dog, not a moose, but I want it to be a moose, so it is for me! haha

Bud Selig must be thanking God Gary Buttman is still a comish or else he’d be the worst commishner.

I hate to say anything related to politics, but it’s just a goalie mask, and it’s awesome, especially the moose on the left side. (link in name)

It really is amaazing how the trolls disappear when the summer ends, so we can have relativly intelligent discussions. Oh, to be a teenager again!

And I finally remembered the suggestion of my namesake (real name, that is):

TRADE BOB!

I think it’s easy to say Mara is easily replaceable but who know Sanguenetti might be traded(or not ready to play in the Nhl) and who knows if Del Zotto will be ready to claim a roster next year.

Obviously, I have no idea, but Dubinsky would seem to be smart enough to know that he should not be making $7 million per season in his second contract. We love him, but he is no Ovechkin. Hopefully, he will be scoring at a rate where he will truly be worth that amount by the time Drury’s contract expires, since that is the first big one to come off of the books, at the same time as Rozsival’s actually.

Of course some teams would like players like Betts and Orr, but they are clearly fourth-liners. Frankly, they should never be paid much more than they are receiving right now because their roles are the easiest to fill in the NHL. I like them because they are on the Rangers, but players like that can be found all over the league and in the minors. They will probably re-sign during the season before free agency anyway, as long as they are heppy here, since their contracts are easily done.

Mara could definitely get paid more, especially since he took a pay cut for this season along with a one-year contract. I would not be too worried about losing him since we allegedly have good defensive talent in our system. He does seem to be the most physical defenseman on this team right now, so I would like to keep him on the team at $2.5 million or less, if possible.

I don’t want to make it seem like I am not worried about the Rangers’ salary against the cap because I have had worries, especially if the ceiling is lowered (which it sounds like it wouldn’t be according to Beer Me!), but there are other avenues to explore to fill our roster.
