What makes Korp a bust? 1 season where his role was undefined rotating from center to wing. Come on. That’s not how it works. You have to have more patience. He probably won’t be more than a 3rd liner but already had the wheels and instincts. And what’s more. He was versatile and already a fixture on the PK. So, maybe he won’t be more than a 15-20 goal, 40 pt guy. But I really wish they’d have retained him to see what he could do on say a third line with Anisimov under ideal ice-time.

Lisin has talent but why has he been benched so much? Is he another Zherdev in training?

Call me a skeptic.

Just for the record, Arturo Gatti was a close relative through marriage, since some of you were asking. I cant comment any further.

Disco Stu , too bad i read it all late and Carp plunked out his post. Seems to me he was just raggin on the blog.

Ranger Rick. If you dont read the comments then why am I typing something to you? The thing is , the comments gove you an inside scoop at time to different stories and valuble Ranger views. That right , valuble posts are posted here daily. By not reading the comments Ranger Rick ..I geuss you’ll never know.

On Zherdev comments. No comment yet.

,,, well If Zherdev rolled over and bowed to Glen Sather like Shanahan did. Saying all he wants is to be a Ranger!!! We don’t sign shanny and he goes to the Devils!!?? Least Zherdev is honest but his remarks do make me upset too.

btw Koala , ya puzzeled me a week ago when ya went on about the tennis. Haven’t figured you out yet.

You can’t trade for Zherdev because he will score 0-~~ZERO~~-points in the playoffs. His value is zippo now and zippo later. I bet he is in Russia next year anyway. If he wanted to accept a fair deal, I could see TAKING A CHANCE on him AGAIN. He is an enigma for sure.

this is roszivals 3rd year of a 4 yr deal. the only onerous contracts left will be gomez and redden assuming gaborik stays healthy. with 1 yr left at $5 mill roszival will be tradeable believe it or not….

Drury instead of Gomez I am assuming?
And Rozi is tradeable at 2 yrs 5mm per, thats not that outrageous for him

Redden on the other hand..

Stuart,
I agree. His cap hit is $5mil per. But his actual cost is less than that (I think as low as $3mil in the last year). That is very appealing to a team in financial trouble (Edmonton, Columbus, DALLAS, etc.). If Rozi gets $7mil (cash) over the last 2 years of the deal, he is a cash bargain.

This will be Rosival’s SECOND year of his four year deal stuart, that contract was signed last summer after Redden signed….. Are Dubinsky and Zherdev the only RFA left now that potter signed? I can’t think of anyone else
