Everyone keeps bringing up Gaborik….didn’t we read that he is bound for Vancouver, in some type of multi trade?

Anyone remember when Havlat was called frail? Last year? He had himself one healthy season and a nice playoff run and everyone wants him now, forget about the frail title.

Gaborik is the most talented FA on the market. If we need a scoring bolster it’d be Gaborik, not Heatley. Heatley is cancer. Gaborik has had almost a full season to recover.

I understand that the Rangers’ biggest need is a goal scorer, and few players in the league are better scorers than Heatley. But my question is this: if the Rangers do get Heatley to fill that role, where does that put them? It doesn’t all of a sudden make them a cup winning team. Jagr was a dominant scorer, and the team only made it to round 2 with him. Right now, I don’t think trading for Heatley would make much sense, because I just don’t see it pushing the Rangers any further than that.

The reason thatOrr did not retaliate, is because the coach didn’t have the wit to put him on ice with his best performers once in a while. That way he would have been able to retaliate! If he came out on the ice after a check like that on Betts, he’d have immediately been thrown out and suspended and fined. Orr does what he can for his team, when he can – but he has never astered the art of being in two places at once.

And I tell you this: They will rue the day they let him go.

ZzZz 13 ZzZz saga continues… says Greg L –
Would you rather lose with beloved home grown talent or win with players you bring in?

How many guys on the 94 team were home grown/drafted by the rangers? 5 or 6? Off the top of my head: Leetch, Richter, Zubov, Kovalev, Karpovtsev?

There are plenty of home grown guys on this team and we have some good prospects in Grachev, AA, MDZ. If Dubi goes, so be it. He will get his millions and life will go on.

Ok so this team is going to be worse then last year. So how can you raise ticket prices. You want to add young players to the roster that’s fine but we still need a big time goal scorer. Whether it’s Heatley or not.

I posted a couple of links to Grachev Youtube videos at 3:20pm, but it says “your comment is awaiting moderation”. What is that about?
