Ranger fan’s will never NOT boo Redden as long as he plays on Broadway. It’s not necessarily that I hate him as a player even though he looks like his skates are made of concrete, the issue with Redden is that he represents all of the managerial blunders that have driven Ranger fans to drink especially recently. Who in their right mind would pay Scott fart on my along the boards and I disappear Gomez 10 million frigggn dollars!!!?? Drury is a solid player but NO TEAM in the league is staying up at night trying to figure out how they will contain him. Rosy doesn’t get that contract anywhere else in the league. The guys that ranger fans love to root for are easy to spot: Cally, Hank, Dubi, Korpy, Sjoe, Staal, Girardi and that’s pretty much it. Now I have to watch overpaid mercenaries stink it up, settle for mediocrity and at the same time watch real hustlers who bleed blue like Prucha or Tyutin get shipped out to make room for these doormats. Tort’s is my only saving grace, I think if anyone can right the ship it’s him. The bottom line is that the way this organization is run is embarrassing and it gets harder to root for them every year.

Rozi and #19 plus Sangs for a pick 6-10. Would anyone complain?

I’m formulating my pick now. As you all know, I’ve never been wrong.

New post.

Carp who do you have for the final? I’d say Wings in six.

Alex B-great scouting report. Any chance you can catch some high school games and write a report for Sather? Not that it makes it to his desk. Even if it does, he’s probably never at his desk anyway.

Is Bettman happy with a repeat cup final? I hate the Pens more than the Wings so go Wings.

I am cool with trading to move up in the draft, but I am not so cool with trading away players who are actually in the NHL or ready to be in the NHL for unproven players that may be a bust. Usually, after the first two or three picks, it is totally up in the air as to how a player will turn out. Brendl and Lundmark were both high picks. Marc Savard was the cost for Lundmark. I could see it if the player is guaranteed to be a game breaker (Ovechkin, Malkin, Crosby) but the Rangers don’t have anything to move up that far in the draft. Still, Brendl was supposed to be a premier goal scorer. How did that turn out?

evan, yea d is harder to play and its even harder with the new rules. i know its no excuse because the rules have been here a few years now, but i think its harder for old school d men whove been in the league longer who have a harder time adjusting to it. booby s wouldnt seem to be looked down on as much if they hadnt drafted del zotto last year. and then paying way too much for redden. he hasnt progressed his d game as well as he couldve, thats why potter and sauer were called up before him. plus with the new 2 d men being signed, it just seems like they dont have much confidence in him. im not sayin thats the case, it just seems that way. i guess they could see something we dont. maybe hes just a late bloomer. i think we wouldve grabbed a forward last year if sangs was progresing. he also could be part of a trade that was in the works awhile ago and sather is getting extra depth on d because hes moving some guys.
