I hope Torts keeps that Avery-Dubinsky-Callahan line together. They may not put up a ton of points but it's a hell of an energy/checking line.

Most players get stronger when they reach 27, 28 so maybe he will stay off IR So, singing Zherdev might be good. He'll skate with gaborik another Russian. Too bad Antro want too much money As far as getting Brashear, I hate him & so does everyone else, but he can score a little and intimidates opponents and the Rangers need that! Great job Carp, thanks!! Rangers got a legit super star!

Also, he replaces the money gomez was getting paid so we are back to being pretty strapped against the cap, which in a way, if any of you would look at the bright side of things, is a goood thing, because it means guys like anisimov and grachev will have to get a shot on the squad now since money will be tight and they wont be able to sign retard free agent 3rd/4th liners for 1 to 2 million dollars (aka voros/rissmiller) Gaborik had 80 pts in 77 games just the year before last in 2007-08 in a defensive system, if he plays 65-70 games for us and is healthy in the playoffs it will payoff i knew the majority of you all would complain about signing gaborik.. you were all complaining about doin nothing so far when it was 6pm and all we had was brashear… now we get somebody and there is more complaining.. yes it may be alot of money & years but the guy is ridiculously talented, if we wouldnt have signed anybody you would have all complained, theres no winning with most of you.. like most of said already taht dont mind the deal, when he plays he will be effective and even if he plays half the year he will probably do what gomez woudl have done in a full year, and if he gets hurt he wont count against the cap..
