According to TSN, the trade of Kotalik to Calgary will bring back Olli Jokinen, but it will include either Christopher Higgins or Matt Gilroy. ^[1]

I think that’s a huge difference, don’t you ?

I mean, Higgins has done zilch offensively and is probably not going to be re-signed. Gilroy still could turn out to be a diamond in the rough. I know if I had my choice, I would much rather deal Higgins.

Plus, if Jokinen is coming, well, duh, he’s a forward. The Rangers only have six defensemen, and one of them (Redden) has been close to doghouse-ville lately.

We’ll see.

Sorry for the unusual new post during the game.
——————————
THE LATEST: IT’S HIGGINS! Probably going to be announced after the game … they better put Higgins on the bench so he doesn’t get hurt!

IT GETS BETTER: THE RANGERS ARE GETTING THIS TOUGH CENTER, PRUST. MORE OF THE SAME TYPE OF PLAYER THEY HAVE, BUT TOUGHER.
