Do you have a framed picture of DP on a stand surrounded by candles and refer to him as the anointed one? I think we all know the answer to that one by your ranger vocab Yaaa last time I checked those who called the Rangers “Rags” were Not Rangers Fans….think you need to ask yourself something..

If he was able to stay healthy, you can bet he would be an NHL regular. The kid was ready talent-wise, but his body thought otherwise. Blackburn is more comparable to Cherepanov Blackburn had nerve damage, which was a chronic, career-ending injury. If he was able to stay healthy, you can bet he would be an NHL regular.

I do, however, believe that the level of talent we do have is superior to the level it represents itself as. I can't help but think that if maybe Anisimov, DelZotto or Sanguinetti were playing for a team like Detroit, they'd be NHL regulars already. I'm not saying the guys we have are expected to step out of the draft and on to the NHL club and be game changers like Crosby or OV, but maybe strong, improving complimentary players like Jiri Hudler, Pascal DuPuis or Colby Armstrong. I would rather have kept Antropov than Z, but no way should we have matched the deal he got from ATL, so good riddance. Z will have to find his game fast with Torts. Judging by his ice time, I think his leash is short as it is NYRanger4Life, agreed we don’t have the talent of teams like Pittsburgh and Washington, but we also haven’t sucked so bad as to get picks that high in a while.

I really don't see it happening though. That is not the way they do things in Rangerland. At least I don't remember them promoting a prospect to the pros right out of junior. I think maybe they might have done that with the goalie Blackburn, and I don't think that turned out very well for them. You never know they might go that route with Grachev, I guess he's loaded with talent. I agree that if he can hack it, and he’s physicaly able to play at the NHL level, he deserves a chance.
