Comments on: More from Torts: http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2009/04/30/more-from-torts/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:27:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Vinny V http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2009/04/30/more-from-torts/#comment-179490 Vinny V Fri, 01 May 2009 14:46:21 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/?p=4068#comment-179490 This will certainly be an interesting off season.... especially considering how many RFA's we got, trying to re-sign the young talent(Dubi,Girardi,Callahan,Zherdev to name a few), Staal next year... and you have these crazy contracts with Rozi,Redden,Gomez,Drury... Antropov and Morris have big contracts.... it's a cluster f*ck right now. I'm not sure, and won't even speculate how that will turn out. But i do expect a Big name Ranger to get moved this Summer. Just don't know which one... Aside from that... the stable of young talent is getting packed! We might have another stud defenseman in the making out of Sanguinetti,Gilroy, and Del Zotto. One of those guys should be a mainstay in 2 years.

I think he's got a damn good read on this team - he's agreeing with most of us here! Posted earlier in the other thread...Baumer – have to disagree with you on Rozi – he is ridiculously overpaid for what he produces. $5mm per year is almost Niedermayer/Pronger type money! You can get handfuls of guys that produce what he does for half the price. The Rangers need to start valuing their prospects, and not giving them away. First, Grachev should be virtually untouchable, unless the initials AO or EM are mentioned. He could be VERY special. Sanguinetti is a different case. We also have his clone, who is likely better, in Del Zotto, so Bobby is expendable. For the RIGHT deal, and that ain’t a 34 year old St. Louis. Nothing but draft picks and undesirables (Naslund, Rozi etc.) for him. An old, small guy is one hit away from retirement, though I would love to get him for the right price. I wouldn’t touch Radulov with a 10ft pole – that p***y has already quit the NHL once. Who the hell wants a player like that? Carp – indeed, great stuff from Torts.

Certainly liked what I read and am anxious to see how it all pans out next season. Could be a good mix of Fire & Ice. As for Pens & Caps. I hope the Caps (the cheap shot MF's that they are)kick the hell out of the Pens. And get beat up themselves in the process. Then they go to Boston and meet their match and the Bruins take no prisoners (unless it's to waterboard them before they cut their legs out from under them). I want to see Chara & Company turn AO into a pile of cheap caviar. OK now I got that off my chest. Back to work. Carp, Great work as always.
