Dubi is a no-brainer, he’s proved he can hack it at this level and should be the leading candidate to center Gabby. He deserves a raise to something like Cally’s contract, but the lack of arbitration eligibility this year hurts his negotiating position, he may have to go with a bit less.

Voros will be an interesting one to watch, according to what i’ve read everywhere he’s been working out hard all summer. If he can be the player from the first 10 games last year he’ll be a useful 3rd/4th liner – if not he might as well go play in Hartford as thats a lot of cap space to us up on a player riding pine most of the season.

Where does everyone keep seeing these bert to philly rumors???

I have to say, I am one of the biggest critics when it comes to Voros; he lit it up for 8 games, then sucked it the rest of the season and didn’t dress for every game as he was riding the pine

He talked honestly about fighting for a job, which he has to know isn’t secured for him at this point

I don’t know, with such little ranger news, watching him speak honestly and listening to him say he’s training more than he ever has at LEAST gives me some hope that if he’s on the roster come opening night, it would be becasue Torts thinks he can contribute to the “team concept”

Last year: Pro’s: Lots of heart. Cons: hands of stone, slow, no real natural talent.

This year: Lots of heart – the rest I guess we will see by what Torts decides if and when he makes the roster.

Fleury – NO!! get a tryout somewhere else. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN!! should be the rangers new slogan!!

Bouillion – eh, do we really need another D man? Haven’t we all been saying for the last few seasons let the kids play? I rather see rookie mistakes then veteran ones.

Dubi – Oh dubi dubi doo – COME ON SATHER!! Forget about Heatley and just sign the kid already. you know it and we know it, he’s a part of our team for years to come and will only get better. SIGN HIM!!

More additions: NO!! How about we go into this season with cap space for once in the last 20 years? go into camp with the players we have, and give Grachev, AA, Gilroy, Heiniken and the others a chance to earn a spot.

EVERYONE here is saying were noy contending for the cup this year right? So why blow our cash to the cap if the guys/parts we need aren’t out there or are too expensive?
( I am never one of these people by the way, no matter how bad our roster looks, there’s always a chance, slim as it is, that the team is stronger than it looks on paper and plays well together) Unlike last year!!

LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!

Hey, has anyone heard of Bertuzzi drawing interest from the flyers? Imagine that team if Bertuzzi is signed. A much older and bigger version of their 90’s team which featured the legion of doom.
