The last hour or so …
Just wanted to start a new thread because the other one was getting big and the Rangers haven’t checked in yet (except for the Newbury deal).
For the list of the 12 trades made before 1:50 p.m., see the thread below.
Here we go again.
For those just joining us: In addition to the minor league trade, Aaron Voros and Enver Lisin both cleared waivers at noon. Marian Gaborik did not practice today. Michael Del Zotto said he will play tomorrow against Pitt.

Buffalo trades Clarke MacArthur to Atlanta for a third- and fourth-round pick.
Columbus trades Milan Jurcina back to Washington for a sixth-rounder.
Reports that Edmonton’s Sheldon Souray is hospitalized with an infection following surgery and could be out for the season, scuttling the chance he will be traded.
TSN reporting that Nashville will not trade Hamhuis.
Also reporting that Toronto has traded Lee Stempniak to Phoenix for fourth- and seventh-rounders.
TSN says deal of Frederik Modin from Columbus to L.A. Kings for future considerations was completed before the deadline.

whos on first?

doh!
here we go
Newest Berry !
maybe rangers get Hamhuis
How does Eric Belanger get a 2nd round return? WTF?
Yes! Hamhocks. Cook ‘em!
someone confirm my facebook confirmation thing
hey carp ever think about numbering the posts? It would make it much easier to find the spot you left off when reading last. just sayin…..
yeah, I am surprised that no goalies are moving yet. there are teams like Chi and philly that need goalies
got carp’d
feel prucha’d
Lohan..use the times…thats what i do
The 3rd penis said NYR & NJD both made big deals.
What was the deal NYR made ? These TSN guys are retarded.
I want Kaberle. Dubi,Sangs,pick or prospect and Rosy for Kaberle
TFP-(1:50pm) WAS still looking for gritty defenseman… CBJ closer to moving Torres and Jurcina… Nothing new on Vokoun.
Personally, I think Jurcina would be good…he looked good in the OLY
Who Needs, you might as well ask me to split the atom. I’d have no idea how to do that.
Jokinen
1 hour and 5 minutes….
Yeah NYRguy I kinda just thought of that. Listening to Joe Michelleti every other night has made me more stupider.
nyr deal for jokinen was big.
njd deal for kovalchuk was big.
It would make it much easier to find the spot you left off when reading last. just sayin…..
........
that’s kinda what the timestamp is for, no?
WTF I tried towatch TSN’s live stream and it said canada only
gr
nyrguy
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/tradedeadline/
Carp, you mean to tell me a high tech operation like this one doesnt have a techy who can flip a switch??? :)
Jokinen was a big deal ? Or was he just thinking aboot his nostrils ?
>>The 3rd penis said NYR & NJD both made big deals.
>>What was the deal NYR made ? These TSN guys are retarded.
They probably were referring to the Jokinen trade.
Gary Bettman- “Well New York its been a tough decade but your long wait is over. Kris Newbury come get the Stanley Cup.”
NYRGuy
You can go on NHL.com, and that allows you to watch the TSN feed.
Yeah but Salty…..Daylight savings time is soon approaching. I almost got so used to telling time an hr off that I got confused what was real time and what was LOHUD time!
Jokinen for two curling stones was a great big trade a month ago. A steal.
I agree with those that say Sather does well on deadline day because he usually does. Rangers never gave up much talent (sorry prucha lovers) and added pieces that helped down the stretch.
He should sell this year though.
roc: I hate you.
tr, beautiful, thanks
and added pieces that helped down the stretch.
......
helped what exactly?
Paul, agreed. But should Sather be doing that instead of selling off those guys for picks or prospects? I mean, what’s the payoff for buying for a failed stretch drive, then losing those guys in the summer?
They call McElhinney being traded is breaking? oh boy
its for tosk
If Sather can get through the whole day without making a trade, I will still consider it a win. Not as good as selling, but WAYYY better than buying.
kaberle has a ntc and he refuses to waive it, and Burke said he won’t ask him to, so he is going nowhere
Anyone got the skinny on the new minor leaguer?
and BOOM TOSK GETS TRADED!
confirm that kids!
Wow I think Belanger is the most consistent player ever, take a look at his career stats when you guys get a chance
i think Kaberle would waive it to go to a contender … I wouldn’t think he’d consider the Rangers to be that.
tr, I’m convinced you are some sort of NHL mole with all sorts of secret connections ;)
salty you are all good!
i think my connections are decent.
http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/31290
newberry getting KOed
you just know that a sather deal with Columbus is gonna happen. GMs always trade with the same teams like old pals
If we are involved in any major swaps…you can just call dubi Done in NY….... Im mixed
is dubinsky traded yet
The New York Rangers have acquired defenseman Christian Ehrhoff from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Wade Redden !
morg
thats the fight i brought up in the last thread
good find
he was out for the rest of the season i think
Salty
have you been confirmed on fb yet? whats your name?
oops video down,eh,look thru his scraps,kinda gritty,but so was Owens
maybe sather’s gettin Tyutin back hehehe
Is that to replace Voros as our punching bag?
for some reason i DONT think Salty is in his early 60’s
45 minutes guys
deep breaths, deep breaths
slowest deadline day so far. nuthin’ happening around the league
Is anyone good at photoshop? Can they make a photoshop Mr. Burns/Sather?
if salty is 60 then sather is 18!
slaty is no more than 35 yo…
44.
I really hope the deadline comes and we do NOTHING…that would be great…none of these acquisitions are going to make or break a cup champion anyway
nlk – wait until the 3:00 PM deadline; that’s when the bulk of the activity will happen (at least if the past several years are any indication)
I think the TFP site has crashed
I wanted a Poni!
Marleau is a UFA? Who knew?
have we spoke about jack johnson yet today?
nlk, are you serious? This deadline day has been one of the busier ones in recent memory. Especially if you count the trades made leading up to the deadline, starting with the two deals Calgary made.
40.
From Carp’s book the day of Sather’s first deadline day as Rangers GM in 2001 when he made little to no moves:
Tuesday – March 13, 2001
“At least two GM’s reportedly cut off talks with Sather today because of his arrogance and smugness in the negotiations. There is an ever-growing number of GM’s who take great joy in beating Sather in a trade, and even take joy in dealing with other teams just to tick off the Rangers’ GM”
Always fun to look back into the past…LOL
Hey, has Larry Brooks asked for Tkachuk yet?? :-)
Salty is 28
Torres to Sabres
Torres to Buffalo
I’m confirmed, thanks guys
some very funny stuff on there, why are the commercials on there? i don’t know why that makes me laugh…I hate them enough on tv already
Torres to Buffalo!
Raffi Torres to Buffalo!!
ummmmmm….slats???
CBC says Raffi Torres to Buffalo.
Salty is 28
.....
not true…how do you figure that?
jackets asked rangers for 2nd rounder and a prospect for torres
TFP:(2:13pm) EDM may be asking for too much for Souray. Moreau, Staios, Pisani may be moved… NYR still involved in trade serious trade talks… Habs still looking at both buying and selling, quiet right now.
Salty is 28
.....
not true…how do you figure that?
.............
yo mama told him! LOL
sorry i couldn’t resist
I used more thought and insight than Sather did when signing Redden… I guessed.
hope you enjoy it as much as we do salty.
Glad Slats passed on Torres. Too many ugly guys on this team.
Torres to Buffalo
Won’t lose any sleep over Raffi Torres not being a Ranger
well you were pretty close…but no I’m not 28 yet
slats is playing poker again
kaberle wants to stay in east but best offer came from vancouver so far.
philly has interest as well.
per insider mole—-
Blackhawks trade Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull to Buffalo for Ryan Miller
32.
Failing in playoff is better to some than failing before playoffs. I would rather spend a year really rebuilding, but that will never happen. Fact is if we make trades that don’t give away anything worth keeping to rent players for exciting playoff games, then okay. I am one of those rare fans that won’t get mad to rebuild and miss the playoffs. Problem is as you have stated in prior threads, there are fans that say they want to rebuild but then get mad when they miss the playoffs. The Rangers have middled for five years in a row. Time to take a step back. problem is the last time the Rangers stepped back, them missed for what 7/8 years. So management fears that if they miss and really focus on rebuild, no playoff for another decade. So they opt to middle unless they capture lighning in a bottle (three years ago – 7.7 – seconds – cc – notwithstanding). I get it. But want more…
Good ‘Ole Darcy Regier. Always making a dumb move at the deadline. Raffi Torres’ career of underachievement should serve them well.
little known fact
bobby hull was a new york ranger on sept 15th 1980
played 1 game @ the meadowlands against the flyers
id trade a first and redden for kaberle
i’m fine with teams above us in the standings making dumb moves
Well, I figured since your handle used to be something crude about male genitalia that you were probably in your early to mid 20s at the time. Add a few years and I got to 28.
got all excited when i saw the rangers wings make deal, thought maybe we got tollefsen
Rangers trade Illka Heikkinnen & 4th round pick to Wild for James Sheppard.
29.
oh wicky, the move is a good one as far as this year. It’s just shortsighted since their team is Ryan Miller and a bunch of crap. They aren’t winning anything and he traded away a 2nd rounder.
Maybe Slats will have a last minute change of heart, and sell sell sell !
Orr chill out lol
tr. I was there. Hull was wearing that rug by then.
cmon slats, not too late to get witt!!!
ORR … You’re a moron … SH*T UP!!
are you ready? it’s coming! you are going to be shocked at my skills
carp
thats awesome
never really knew why the nhl terminated the trade.
you know why?
26.
Orr, while the trade is fake, it is surprisingly well thought out.
Hey Carp, whats your prediction on who we’re gettin??
Less than half an hour to go. SELL SELL SELL
poker
If Chicago were trading Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull, it would be the BLACK HAWKS making the trade, not the “Blackhawks.” I miss the two-name nickname, it was classy, like Maple Leafs and Red Wings look better than Mapleleafs and Redwings. They made a mistake, changing it, and should change it back, AND, put the tomahawk “C” on their jersey and get rid of that awful Indian logo that looks like someone spilled a blotter of ink, or something, on center ice and on the front of the uniform.
Interesting how all the Indian nicknames in college are gone, Redmen, Warriors, Chieftains, etc. But in the pros the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Black Hawks never did get the message, and more power to them for holding out on phony issues, controling academe and political correctness.
no idea.
We need a fancy ball like in Times Square for the countdown.
24
last year slats took his time too…so in the next 25 minutes the future of the Rangers will never be the same!
That’s no fun Carp! I think we’re gonna get Ovechkin and Crosby, Sather is a genius after all remember??
colby armstrong, holmstrom…....cmon
And three cheers for the WASHINGTON REDSKINS, who cannot be bought off, either, into changing their name, although we know a law will be passed forcing them to do so, and soon.
heikkinen is still in hartford
rockin out
i hope he goes to khl
the fact that the oil have done nothing tells me that a big deal IS in the works between the Rangers and Oil. Sather must be reluctant to move picks. Which is a good thing
Sabres deal McArthur to Atlanta…HUGE DEAL!
brendan witt for wicky
Well, I figured since your handle used to be something crude about male genitalia that you were probably in your early to mid 20s at the time. Add a few years and I got to 28.
......
Little known fact… It was your handle inspired me to be “creative” with my handle way back when
20 minutes…
maybe kaberle for dubinsky girardi and 2nd?
New York Rangers under the radar at the moment, this is both a good thing, AND very scary!
Regier improved his team. Torres is better than MacArthur, and he got back his 2nd round pick and a 3rd too
Who….try to reminder the time you last posted and go from there. that’s what I do….
20
3rd and 4th for McArthur. Nice Pick up for both
yeah, I think Slats is talking to his old buddies again. Be very afraid.
18.
Booby Hull lost his hair over the summer of 1964. In spring of 1964 he was “The Golden Jet.” By that fall he was “The Bald Eagle.” Loved him, met him at a sports dinner in Canada in 1969. He was wonderful to me and everyone, had a great five minute chat with him. What a wonderful, humble, great man with a common touch. My cousins in Belleville Canada grew up with Bobby as his neighbors. He skated with them in wintertime on the Bay of Quinte. What memories.
”# ORR..What Is It Good For ?
March 3rd, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Glad Slats passed on Torres. Too many ugly guys on this team.”
Agreed. We need beauties on our team.
TFP (2:40pm) Flyers, Habs, Blues, Oilers, Rangers all hustling to get deal(s) done.
CR, jarmorito cannot return until his KHL contract is up ;-)
and get rid of that awful Indian logo
.......
one of the best logos in sports
and one of the best hockey uniforms ever worn
trying to imagine Sather ‘hustling’. picturing him in the Tony Maneor white poly suit!
It’s sad that the only guys Slats can make deals with are the usual suspects, his ole buddies.
What does that say about the guy, that nobody likes him.
or that we have nothing anyone else wants CR
15.
Beauties bring in the babes. Babes might bring players that would rather have a bunch of babes around them instead of a huge contract. Could be good.
VITALY
The moron is the person who keeps falling for the same trick.
Come on Slats, just dump Redden or Rozi and we’ll call it a win.
tra la la lalalala tra la la lalalala
one banana two banana three banana four
Darth hasn’t hustled since 73
ORR: Nobody is falling for your CRAP!! The moron is the idiot who keeps posting sh*t out of their ass. Ohh, and change your retarded name. Your idol no longer plays for the franchise.
Thanks!!
tsn guys reminding us that last year 12 trades were announced AFTER 3 p.m.
Same thing every year. Slats always waits for the last sec.
This team, regardless of what happens, will still suck.
Bring on the summer !
12.
TFP-At this very moment, I don’t believe Leafs will trade Kaberle (15 minutes to go, though)... Rangers/Oilers have spoken all day… Wild finished on the day… Very quiet on Habs front.
you effin baseball moron, look at NHL.com stupid. the LEAGUE has it as the Chicago Blackhawks. it is NOT 2 words
this baseball idiot is back spouting garbage again today.
linda
i love you!!!
everyone please stop with the kaberle crap, he is the last thing we need….another rozy!
has the baseball season started yet?
Salty- Still like Drury (though that fast break was an embarassment last night) but have to say… AGREE on the count of the “indian” logo being a sports classic and oh so sweet.
Goodbye Dubinsky, we hardly knew ye.
What? No Souray? the only people I want to get rid of, nobody would take anyway, so I guess it is good so far.
PuckCentral
RT @RogersSportsnet Sheldon Souray has a hand infection from the surgery he underwent and is done for the season.
Nobody is falling for it ?? Yeah, nobody but YOU, cause you’re such a moron, haha.
Jeez, what a baby.
funniest thing about the baseball dude is that a 4-6-8 in a nearly impossible play to make unless there is a massive baserunning blunder and the second baseman has a heart attack between the first play he makes and the last one.
10
Man, Washington is really going for it this year. With lousy goaltending? Big bistake.
I predicted a move (a dump of Rozi/Redden/Drury). Don’t think it will happen. If fact I dont think anything will happen. . . unless you count that minor league deal earlier. I think the NYR made a godd (and their biggest deal) getting Jokinen (or putting a bullet in Kotalik’s head. Whatever u wanna call it.)
Jurcina back to caps
McKenzie says Jurcina back to WSH
I hope we don’t trade Dubi, really. I think he will find his niche as a 25-goal power forward.
Just like the way I typed mistake.
TSNBobMcKenzie
Milan Jurcina back to Washington.
8.
yes hand infection for souray!
ORR is Bizarro Sather with his bullcarp trades…
Souray out for the year with a hand infection.
Anybody wanna bet that Sather spent the entire day trying to trade for him and paid little attention to anything else?
When you’re 138, it’s hard to multi-task.
Olga, isnt regular sather bizarro sather???
FIRE SATHER
Souray really doesn’t care about winning, he didn’t stop his hand from getting infected.
cbc says jurcina back to wash and souray out for the season with injury
7
Drury’s not gonna let Souray’s infected hand ruin his beautiful Pizza Sauce!
;-)
Mickey, LMFAO, or the centerfielder moved to first base.
i am not 138, yet
prepare yourselves! 3:05 announcement
Visnovsky and cogs from oil now
minor one
and then maybe another one?
5.
So how long till after 3…you think 3:15?
Souray being out for the season hopefully means Darth won’t do anything stupid.
I said hopefully….
FIVE
linda- FIRE ORR
i cant do that,he’s kinda like my adopted son. I can maybe give him a time out
Olga is Bizarro Gary Glitter. Same creep, but no music and makeup.
Hamhuis staying put according to McKenzie
3.
You gotta wonder…when did the Oilers know about Souray’s infected hand?
Did they take offers all day long only to announce it now when they didn’t get what they wanted?
Interesting
gary freakin glitter! i dont think olga is a molester!
jack johnson? have we discussed yet?
Shor, which means the first baseman had a heart attack somewhere along the line… or is chatting up the pink hats in the first row.
“you effin baseball moron, look at NHL.com stupid. the LEAGUE has it as the Chicago Blackhawks. it is NOT 2 words
this baseball idiot is back spouting garbage again today.”
Wow dude. You have no idea how ignorant you just made yourself sound. The team used to be called Black Hawks. Two words. It was later changed to Blackhawks, one word. That is what the other guy was saying.
Go learn something about the history of the league. Yes, they had hockey before you got NHL 94 on your Genesis.
Carp, are you gonna go into the negatives after 3?
He trades more like he’s your DROPPED son- like on his head.
tr, would LOVE jack johnson on this team. He was great in the Olympics.
Most boring trade day ever.
rangers trade Voros and Brash!t for a bag of used pucks
gilbert and cogs out of edmonton… does anyone know where they went? got nothin over here.
Is this the most boring trade deadline day in history? There isn’t one single trade worth talking about.
i guess i’m behind the time, i just call em the Hawks Wings and Leaves ;-)
Jack Johnson is awesome. I live in LA and get to see him every once in a while. He would be a monster Blueshirt.
1 minute til NOT showtime
Big Trade of the Day: acquiring Kris Newbury from the Wings for Jordan Owens
ouch that was funny!!
tr
dont tease about jack johnson!
1.
I still think something’s coming.
TSNBobMcKenzie
Interesting aspect of Jurcina deal—he was just diagnosed with a sports hernia.
0.
Souray is done for the season?? yupiiiieeee!!!
LIN
Was he a molester ? I thought he was just obsessed with kiddie pron.
I saw it on VH1 a few years ago. He’s on my creep list.
a 6th rounder for jurcina – seems like rangers could have offered that if they wanted him
times up?
and they should roll in starting now
time’s up, lay’em on the table
Isn’t Jurcina the guy whose face Avery tried to rearrange in Game 4 last year, which led to him getting benched?
waiting for the blockbuster bomb to drop
I’m hearing Cogliano for Ryder, although I’m not crazy about the source.
0!!!! the world has been annihilated!
ORR, along with the usual suspects right
“a 6th rounder for jurcina – seems like rangers could have offered that if they wanted him”
No, they traded their 6th for Shelley.
Doodie I think Boston/Edm may be swapping contract for contract, CBC mentioned
What a fool Slats is. He doesn’t try to make this team better, and he doesn’t sell.
WASTE !
Should have traded Jokinen, Prospal, Dubinsky, & Girardi.
“Announcement imminent”
Jurcina has a sports hernia.
CCCP, then why are we still here?
you are correct orr, i should have said offender and not molester. either way he’s trash
LeBrun says Corvo is gone, dunno where yet
Penis head Maguire looks upset…
Is it because his Bruins did little?
or is it because his POS role on NBC was taken away for the Gold Medal game?
My teeth are chattering.
poker poker poker
would it be crazy if we heard a king Hank for varlomov and neuvirth trade – i would never trade him but crazier things have happened – caps need a goalie and we need caps space
just a random thought – sorry for the interruption – please resume your regularly scheduled sather bashings
CR, he was doing the broadcast on Canadian tv
CCCP, then why are we still here?
...........
because we are special!
Nice countdown. A little underwhelming at the end though…
Modin to LA possibly per McKenzie
That 6th for shelley was a steal – thx for the reminder doodie
Dubi must be breathing a sigh of relief—or he’s pissed he didn’t get shipped to a contender.
there is NO WAY that minor minor minor league deal was all yeti did today
NYRguy why would we get someone like corvo, i mean we got such great blue liners right now
Linda
I know. I was just wondering if he’s still bitter about being sidelined like the loser he is :)
See Sather did fall asleep!!!
I didn’t say anything about getting Corvo, I just said he was traded and don’t know where yet lol
Nada? Or not yet?
lol @ anyone who thinks the day is over
It’s like Y2K all over again.
countdown to nada!
I’m going to the bathroom and when I get back Dubinsky better still be a Ranger and we better still have our first and second round draft picks.
Stempniak to Pho it looks like
I bet Sather has a big trade all planned out for tomorrow…
he wasn’t traded was he
feel like a kid who was just told there is no santa
Awesome. We stood pat. This bunch guarantees we pick in the top 10. Here’s hoping Slatipus ain’t around to use that pick.
lol CR
‘every olli jokinen deal is a big deal’
lol thats funny and he totally did NOT mention Kotalik
There’s more that will be announced folks. Happens every year after the deadline time expires…
CCCP, Super Special?
-8 (HA! Had to do it)
TSNBobMcKenzie
Stephane Yelle has been traded
corvo to flyers?
Carolinia trades Joe Corvo to Caps for Brian Pother and Oskar Osala.
I hate this team so much, we couldnt get Corvo some how
Corvo to Caps
Doodie, just did the same thing, lol
TSNBobMcKenzie
Carolinia trades Joe Corvo to Caps for Brian Pother and Oskar Osala.
oh wow to the caps. crazy
Sather’s looking for that Hot Tub Time Machine…
Only way he can get back to when he was relevant in the NHL
Caps and Kings and Phoenix had good day
Modin to Kings official
wow could we be lucky enough to see a Chicago/Washington Cup Final??
would that go back to NEVER cjp??
ilb
how was the morning run?
+10?
Caps seem to be gunning for this year
Sather is trading…his 7-iron for his 9-iron right now and laughing at us haha.
I hope some dumb trade isn’t announced at 3:30, just for the sake of making one.
Haha, hot tub time machine.
4th and 7th from Phoenix to Toronto for Stempniak.
Mickey – LOL @ ”-8”...
specially for CR
TSNBobMcKenzie
Boston did not make any more trades.
I’m starting to think we did nothing…could it be possible??
give it until 3:30 NYR
Stempniak cost TWO picks? Wow.
LI, it’s Darth’s sign, he’ll be the Rangers GM til minus infinity
AGrossRecord
Little (OK, lot) surprised but looks like the #NYRangers only deal will be Newbury-Owens.
********************************
if that is the case, did we have a good day or a bad day?
bad day
never say ‘’never’’ mwahaaahaaa
No way Sather actually didn’t make any trades. This can’t be possible. He did something smart for once since he couldn’t deal the big boys? That’s incredible.
Great day Linda!
soray news ruined it
should have made that trade w/ LA
Phoenix a buyer today, how strange.
Terrible day. Should have sold some of the guys on this team.
i fully expected the flyers to trade carcillo to take the heat off in the upcoming game – a blood bath on 3/12 – all ranger moves have been to get tougher for that game
Thanks Linda
Reading Boston’s website, espn.com, they were involved in everyone from Corvo to Kovalchuk to Kaberle, to Kchachuk(sp?).
Basically, the ESPN NHL trade rumors were just Bruins rumors.
Maybe he still hasn’t woken up from his nap.
what trade with LA?
for doodie
TSNBobMcKenzie
Leafs trade Joey MacDonald to Anaheim for a late round pick, per Darren Dreger.
they are sitting right next to each other lol
TFP-(3:12pm) More deals are coming in, waiting on details…
We didn’t stand pat…Jokinen was our big deadline deal this year. We got a solid player and cleared a little big of cap space. I’m fine with that.
now we sit and wait for July 1.
I’m surprised they did not get Ovechkin for the Vezina trophy winner Tim Thomas (the guy who could not sniff but 10 minutes and 1 GAA in the Olympics).
im done throwing out trades after the last blogs uproar.
the souray news ruined 1 trade and then there were apparently other talks w/ the blues and kings.
thats all im sayin about “sources” and such till july 1st
I am glad that Sather didn’t just make a trade for the sake of making a trade. That being said, I am surprised nothing happened.
dammit returning the keg and cohibas ovechkin isnt a ranger?????
very bad day if nothing was done!! Look for waiver wire acquisition the next day or two!
Rangers will not make a big move. ... maybe another minor-league trade to be announced.
you’re probably right tr, i bet he wasthisclose to trading for Souray and then the news of the hand infection threw a wrench in his plans
NO DEALS FOR RANGERS-CONFIRMED, Per Brooks
sometimes the best deal you make is the one you did not make
NYP_Brooksie
No NHL deals for Rangers. Confirmed.
NOTHING!! YAY!!!!
Wicky, was great. Ready for you, guys.
NYP_Brooksie
No NHL deals for Rangers. Confirmed.
good job Nasty!
120 days until July 1
get the golf clubs ready
so did don maloney do a good job for the coyotes today?
anyone want to talk about that?
WOOOHOOOO
Just send Redden and Rozi to minors in the offseason.
Accept them as failures and eat them money, considering the profit the Rangers have made.
stogiepuss says “we have won 3 in a row. we are on a roll. well, actually I just had a roll with butter and jelly. but we are now a Newbury centric team with loads of jam and grit. or actually I just had some grits and jam on my cake. but anyway, I pulled off a big deal today. I traded a carrot cake for a big chocolate job. what a deal. well, back to my round of golf. ta ta”
FIRE SATHER!!!!!! Where was he today? Standing pat with this non-contender team? He is a disaster and a joke of a GM.
I know some of you wanted Dubi gone, but if we didn’t get back a good return for him, you would have been full of piss and vinegar. I am glad Sather didn’t just settle for whatever was offered.
Nothing? WHEW.wipes brow I call it a good day.
How much you want to bet sather falls asleep during sex too??
Horrible… simply horrible!
LAME
Considering we were rumored to be big buyers… I consider this a pretty good day. I know it’s upsetting to those looking for a some new toys… but I’d rather make no moves than bad moves.
ilb
major disappointment on the trade front, so are we!!
There was never gonna be a move to make us a contender, so be happy Sather did not set us back…again.
DanTheRangerFan March 3rd, 2010 at 3:20 pm
How much you want to bet sather falls asleep during sex too??
**************************************
theres a vision NONE of us needed!
Look around though prices were high…People were throwing away decent picks for garbage…RIDICULOUS We really needed to dump a contract
OMG, I’ve figured it out.
I have a theory (conspiracy?).
Sather is a Boston fan, and wanted to drive the Rangers into the ground.
He got Jagr because he thought Jagr was old and would be a bust.
When he was successful, he signed Redden and Rozi to gargantuan deals to prevent us from signing Jags.
i have to agree with Nasty and Salty, and now, when sather arises from the coffin in 120 days, maybe there will be a plan waiting for him
we will learn in days to come how we were so close but did not pull trigger
we should have been stock piling 2nd rounders
oh well middling yet again – not so bad but never soooo good
Good day. I’ll enjoy a lottery pick. :)
theres a vision NONE of us needed!
Sorry Linda… haaa
dan the ranger fan
yeah they were too high and there was no budging it seems
is this even possible?? Rangers with no moves?!? WOW
The way I see it is, we are just going to play the course and see if we make the playoffs. If we do, we have players that can be capable of doing something in the playoffs. I fully expect that Redden or Rozi will not be with this team next year. I am okay with not making any moves. I am sure he tried to move a big contract or two, but who is really going to want these guys? So rather than send away Dubi and Cally for crap, he stood pat.
YES!!! While Sather blew an opportunity to sell and retool the team in earnest, I am happy that he didn’t try to buy and mortgage even more of our future.
not over yet. trades submitted last min can take some time to be approved by NHL. Last couple of yrs the Rangers didn’t post their trades until like 5 pm
Ha, Linda, thanks for that.
Totally agree with Salty and Nasty, no moves are GOOD moves today. Anything Sather could have done would not have helped the team this year. Hopefully they can ride this season out, maybe make the playoffs and get the young’uns some post season experience and then tweak the roster in the summer, NOT do a wholesale remake of the team again. There IS a good nucleus here, they are just young.
HAHAHAHAHAHA on the Flyers!!! Nice goalie situation they have going on down there!
PAUL G
Don’t get excited, NYR will do d*ck as always. Shelley didn’t even have a “chat” with that doofus who hit Cally.
Nobody will do anything to Carcillo, they’ll be a typical fight, but it will be far from a “blood bath”.
Should have sold. If we don’t make the playoffs, we let Jokinen go for nothing, and we potentially let Prospal go for nothing, maybe we could have even packaged Girardi for something, but he’ll go for nothing.
WASTE !
Ill tell you now cally was a now way no how for the rangers…But Dubi did come up in talks but the returns were prob min
Cindy, it’s over. Multiple reports of Rangers not making deals, including Carp.
Ha…thanks Doodie
Standing pat is nearly as dumb as buying. Why does this guy still have a job?
Adam, I did it just for you.
Doodie, anything to make ya laugh!
Cindy, brooks confirmed there were no NHL moves for the Rangers. Nasty’s post is great because he didnt trade for someone elses crap.
FORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup how about them apples…...
Sorry, kids. No conference calls, no blockbusters today. So I’m gonna run to basketball triple-header.
I’ll stop in when Rangers announce minor-league deal.
west is way stronger than east. you’ve got Det, ana, Calg and Dallas in similar spot to bruins, rangers atl, and Tampa
west teams are better
Sathers big deal was nixed once the Souray hand infection came into play. He’ll work his magic July 1 ;-)
Cindy you will be forgiven this one time…..Now how about a date haha
TSNBobMcKenzie
Visnovsky to Ana for Ryan Whitney. So much for my prediction Whitney wouldn’t be traded. LOL
and he did NOT get that from dreger!
Best thing the Rangers could do is nothing. Nobody who was dealt today would have changed anything had we gotten them. Jokinen Prust and Shelley were our deadline deals.
Sather’s likely done anyway.
anticlimatic day, but, as other have said, its great that a deal was NOT made just for the sake of making one. Something will be done with Redden and/or Rozsival and maybe Girardi come July 1
3:32 p.m. – Minor Ranger move coming. (Arthur Staple – Newsday)
That’s it????
Carolina acquired a 2/3/4/7 rounder, a good looking young d-man, a foward and a goalie – for their sell-off – which was Corvo and some other middling guys
wishful thinking on blood bath
i’ve been saying rangers should sell
now we risk losing Lisin on re-entry – maybe
who gets the call up? not like rangers have a glut of players.
just such a waste – not like the team would have been horrible if traded prospal or jokinen for high pick
now – does Dubi get to 20 goals (6 in 19 games) and does Cally get 25 goals (8 in 19) – not far off from projections at start of year and considering Drury has less than Anisimov could you blame them.
the old brooklyn dodgers saying was “wait til next year” right? Carp?
now waiting….
Sather made a huge deal with Jokinen. He did his trading before the deadline. I personally believe the Rangers are better for NOT trading today.
agree with MickeyM post at 3:27
doing nothing was a good move
Well, it looks like no GM offered anybody that we were interested in, and no GM wanted anyone we were offering.
So – NO DEAL.
We are probably better off as a result.
A lot of Rangers are thinking “Slats must love me, he really loves me! I’m safe now – time to relax and glide until the end of the season”.
The good news is that there won’t be any rants about how stupid a trade was, had there been one.
Ryan Whitney for Lubomir Visnovsky. Very interesting trade.
well, if nothing happens now we get to see all those guys that were rumoured to go somewhere and were playing well, how they play now that they are not!
How much you want to bet sather falls asleep during sex too??
Like ORR’s hand? I bet he’s got Carnal Tunnel Syndrome…
Slats is not good at drafting and he is never really good at trade deadline trades. He can make a pretty decent mid season trade though. The trade for Jokinen and Prust was a good one IMO. Oh well, stand pat, see what happens, and nuff said.
PEOPLE! Can we stop talking about Sather having S-E-X. It’s nauseating.
And you know he goes all Lewinsky with the cigars.
Sorry, I had to :)
The only tix i’m using the rest of the year are for the Flyers, but no way it will be a bloodbad. The team we root for is the Rangers it aint going to happen. I wish it was so and would love to see it but we all know it won’t. Glad we didn’t buy but would have loved some biger idiot would have taken one of 3 big one’s, but I guess the incompantance of the rest of the league has caught up with us.Not buy the playoff tix after many years, can’t take the sheer lack of talent and a bad ending if we get there at all.
NASTY!
don’t get in an argument with Sather. he is a master debater
hands down
Paul G – risk losing Lisin is no big deal. I don’t see where he’s worth worrying about.
I’m glad the Rangers made no stupid blockbuster deals. Aren’t we all tired of the blockbuster trade that ends up yielding nothing?
CARNAL TUNNEL SYNDROME! OMG dyin!!
In the words of Gene Hackman in Hoosiers
“This is your team” Rangers fans.
haaa we got some messed up people here
Quietest trade deadline day I have ever seen.
And you know he goes all Lewinsky with the cigars.
roflmfao Nasty!! bravo
Lol why does everyone pick on Orr?
people dont understand him Shor ;-)
waiver wire…waiver wire!!!
For CR:
http://tinyurl.com/yad2l95
rumour has it gabby isn’t injured, he is taking fighting lessons and will not play again til flyers game!
is it wrong that I wish Brian Burke was our GM? this guy is pretty stand up
Is the Fire Sather rally still on for Sunday?
Lisin does not have to go through reentry waivers, he was not sent down, therefor does not need to recalled and put through reentry waivers.
so how many goalies have the ducks traded and traded for this season??
Shoryuken,
Ever look back and realize you must’ve really been obnoxious at some point in your life, Orr is at that stage right now.
I don’t care about Lisin, it is the stupid 1/2 cap hit that hurts even at the small amount of his contract, if there was a gem on waiver wire to be had, and it was his 1/2 half cap hit that kept it from happening, that would be stupid. That’s all i was saying
zipay reports minor deal coming
PaulG- Lisin’s half-cap hit? His salary is a full cap hit. It’s Avery and now Auld that have half-cap hits on the roster and both are the Stars with the other half.
now if we just pick up witt on re-entry waivers…
What did I miss ? I had to leave my office for a few hours. I was expecting something to happen
THAT’S IT ?
if lisin is plucked off re-entry waivers – assuming they recall him to fill out major league roster – rangers would be on hook for 1/2 as cap hit…right?
Maybe we get to see some other hartford dude for the rest of the year. i do hope it is not newbury – he seems to be 28 year old minor leaguer
Orr you are completely wrong.
Jokinen coming here got rid of Alex Kotalik’s 2 remaing years at 3 million a year. Even if Olli doesn’t resign Slats got rid of a bad contract and a player that was in the coach’s doghouse. Plus, getting Prust as the throw in looks to be an OK pick-up too. Higgins wasn’t coming back so all in all that was a very good deal for the Rangers, especially if Olli helps them to a playoff spot…..even if its one round and out.
Sather did the right thing today. they are to close to a playoff spot to sell. how do you tell your boss, and your fans that you are giving up on the season when you could make the playoffs. he didn’t buy, which keeps all the young players that we are all so high on in the organization. they are not a cup contender, or are they bad enough to blow it up.
Shor
They’re obsessed with me. I bet Salty Dupuis and Izzy/Olga all have meetings at their local Starbucks and discuss me.
I know Olga Glitter has had it in for me ever since i turned 18. He likes em young.
sather did the wrong thing today
this is a 1 round and done at best team…. they could have moved rosival to a team on the brink of making it some how
maybe the small deal is the Rangers dealing for Tony Hrkac:
http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3970519
:-)
PaulG,
I am not sure what you are talking about with Lisin. he has not been sent down, so he does not need to recalled. he does not need to go on re-entry waivers.
You think any team looks at Roszival and says “this guy puts us over the top. He’s worth taking on a $10 mil cap hit over the next 2 years”? Come on.
Steve Staios to Calgary
DOWN
We could have flipped him for a prospect or a pick that can turn into something pretty good for the future.
Should have sold. Clearly Gabby doesn’t have the confidence in this team, so why does Slats ? Ugh, old people.
I’m going to brick house tavern and tap for dinner tonight. Anyone ever been? It’s my first time going.
Messiah, it’s still on!
I’m amazed at how willing teams are to give up 2nd round picks for almost nothing
How do you tell your boss and your fans that we are selling? It’s not giving up selling it’s making you structual better for the purpose of winning a Stanley Cup that’s the job scope of any GM, maybe not the NYR his boss and some fans are happy to be on this never ending mediorce treadmill. You sell any and all bad assets and there are a lot so you get Cap space and try to build it the right way without these smothering cap killers. Probably no one was touching any of them without some of ok young guys, but he should have been bolder and bit the bullet and package good with bad for expiring contracts or smaller-shorter termed contracts. BTW anybody think we put more thought on this than Darth Sather?
I agree with Foolery. Who would actually take Blowzy at that amount for the next 2 years, with his lack of offense, and embarrassing defense ? “Supposebly” only two GM’s were interested in paying Dredden the amount he got.
So, those are two players this teams stuck with until they buy them out, or waive their asses, and send them to Hartford.
Sucks to be a Rangers fan. I wish the Olympics never ended.
come on people lets be realistic we are not getting rid of roszi or redden.. so stop dreaming…if you can see how horrible they are in front of y tv, pro scouts are not any dumber…
I stand corrected. He was never formally re-assigned? So if he never gets assigned he never has to be recalled and go through re-entry waivers? Seems like a silly loophole. But the CBA is full of them.
No deal at all is better than a stupid deal. Slats couldn’t sell, the team is too close to making the playoffs, he couldn’t buy, my guess GMs wanted too much. Agree with Linda, that infected hand probably nixed the only viable deal. And I’m glad we didn’t get Kaberle.
No trades because Sather has put together an excellent roster?
We still have $20,000,000.00 in Redden, Rosival and Drury.
Larry Brooks to begin his “Fire Sather/Torts” campaign
Sather Done Nothing. He’s rebuilding. Be patient.
How do you think the three Dallas Stars fans think of their GM. They are paying for two players not on their roster but on the Rangers (1/2 cap hits) – Should have traded Redden for the 1/2 cap hits (less years and less money). Thx Mike forgot that one too
PaulG- No, Lisin was never assigned to Hartford. He was just waived. As I understand it, you can be waived and if not claimed, you can stay with the NHL team OR you can be assigned. If you stay, your cap hit is the same as it was before.
Basically I think Slats has realized that the hole he’s dug himself and this team into is too deep to climb out of- both financially and talent-wise. The Rangers don’t have any players that anyone else wants, mostly due to the high priced salaries attached to them. At this point we now know that this is the team that’s going to suit up for the rest of the season. There’s no “fixing” this team. End of story.

come on people lets be realistic we are not getting rid of roszi or redden.. so stop dreaming…if you can see how horrible they are in front of y tv, pro scouts are not any dumber…
Uhm…yes, they are. Just look at our draft history prior to 2007
Redden must be sent to Hartford at the end of the season. There is no way around it. It is the only solution. You can deal with Blowzy and Drury’s contracts for 2 more years if necessary. Redden cripples us and brings nothing to the table.
Rozi will be gone this summer, I think. Redden? The only way they get out of his contract is if he retires.
Good point Bull Dog Line. Have a question if anyone might know the answer? Even if Lisin is sent down to the minors – which I feel would help tremendously in Gratchev’s development… Because Lisin is a RFA after this season, if the Rangers resign does he have to go through re-entry waivers?
TFP…Rangers and Oilers were discussing a large deal surrounding Tom Gilbert. Looks like it fell through.
MikeyM-you’re correct. Unless he is assigned to AHL, he can play for Rangers at full cap hit.
Good afternoon, Carp!
Dubinsky is very happy Dubinsky is still a Ranger.
SOrry Everyone but I call TOTAL BULLSH#T on everyone who says Sather NOT making any moves was a mistake.
Who could we have gotten that would have turned us into a contender – NO ONE
What youth on our team did we want to sacrifice for a dman or another scoring winger – NO ONE
What other ridiculous salary did we want to get back in any Redden or Rosi deal – NONE
Best thing Slats has ever done, and this is coming from someone who wishes he would keel over or get hit by a bus on a daily basis.
We go with what we got, finish the season hell or high water, make the playoffs or miss by a little, and have almost $13 mil in cap space next season coming off the books from all the UFA we have.
Resign Staal and Prospal in the offseason, send Redden to Hartford possibly trade Rosi, and next year will look a hell of alto brighter.
Now Dubi can go back to being mediocre.
Oh yeah, i forgot aboot Dubinsky. I don’t care anymore.
This season is waste of time. They could have sold, and tanked the season, and get a top 3 pick. But, they failed.
I’m done with the team this season. They don’t care, so i don’t care.
Too bad we don’t have a team full of guys the size of Chara, and have as much heart as Cally.
I’m happy Dubinsky is still a Ranger too.
We added Jokinen, Prust, and Shelley and lost Higgins, Kotalik, and Brashear. Not too bad. Now lets see how the rest of the season goes.
Odds are not in our favor for a playoff spot but I’m always hoping. Finishing out of the playoffs isn’t going to change things; as much as I hear people praying for it.
im glad that the oil deal fell thru then
dont really like gilbert
With a team like ours, why make any changes
How much does Dolan lose if we miss the playoffs?
426!
They need to get on a wicked losing streak. And Gabby needs to sit out the remainder of the year.
At the very least we can get a top 5 pick.
Count Sathula napping in the coffin for 4 months, until he rises again July 1!
Linda, maybe he should stay there a little longer…
ilb, are you insinuating you want him to take the dirt nap for eternity?
Orr, I’m renaming you Mr Negative.
No way in hell would they totally dismantle the team and tank. It’s not in Darth’s DNA to give up like that.
Slats should buy the “Kiss Casket” for when he dies. I know it’s pretty expensive, but he likes to spend big, so maybe it’s worth it.
“Please believe in your team” – Glen Sather.
I thought Darth was already dead and the version we get is just a zombie.
Linda – LMAO @ “Count Sathula napping in the coffin”....
I knew that this was going to happen when they won three straight watch them loss 5 in a row now!! Great job Glen. Horrible horrible horrible.
someone needs to photoshop his face on a box of count chocula cereal for the FB page!!
The way the Rangers have drafted top 10 picks in the past..I’d rather make the playoffs and take our wild card chances there than miss out on playoffs and just get another pick that goes nowhere fast.
Everyone’s such a debbie-downer on this blog, just about everyone
Anybody that thought that Sather could trade one of the albratrosses was just wishful thinking. After all, there would have to be somebody willing to take on those ridiculous contracts in return. Nobody except Sather is that stupid.
Don’t forget, our post-deadline deal will be getting Marian Gaborik back for nothing.
i figured turris was a minor leaguer. i guess that was wishful thinking, lol. eriksson instead.

#Rangers have acquired veteran defenseman Anders Eriksson from Phoenix in exchange for goalie Miika Wiikman and 7th rounder in 2011
Drury makes over $7M and has one more point than Richard Park. Redden is making $6.5M and has less points than Jack Hillen, Andy Sutton, Bruno Gervias and has one more point than Freddy Friggin Meyer!!!!! When you look at that there is no Question that they are the reason that the Rangers are Struggling so badly.
sorry,didnt realize that was up already! my bad
this has been one boring deadline…im still trying to understand what Thrashers are trying to accomplish with Antro and Artyukhin…
Good on Slats for not giving any of our prized youngsters away.
Bad on him for not using one or more of the pending RFA/UFA’s to acquire some of the draft picks we’ve lost on recent deals for Shelley etc..
Based on this Darth Sather should be looking to re-sign Prospal, Prust, Girardi to favourable deals and lock up Staal long-term this summer. Jokinen can audition for a job as can Christy, Shelley, Boyle and Lisin. Roszival and Redden should just be removed from the roster one way or the other come season’s end.
Top 5 pick is useless is Slats is the one doing the picking.
Does anyone else feel like throwing up!!
Erikkson?
I would have preferred Chelios.
Tom Foolery (any relationship to Chuck Woolery?:) Redden being sent down to Hartford is not the only way around it,,, because the Rangers are almost finished rebuilding. I say resign Christensen (RFA) cheeply, as well as prospal (or a player like Prospal) who could be signed to a one year contract and (like Christensen) could also play with Gaborik on the first line.
By the end of the season – if not by the end of training camp? The lines will look something like this…
Kreider Steppan Gaborik
Bourque Dubinsky Callahan
Grachev / Werek Anisimov Weiss / Lisin
Avery Boyle Enforcer
Byers Christensen
Dupont Horak
Doyle
per zipay
NYR acquire D Anders Eriksson, 35, ex-Wing, from Phoenix for goaltender Miika Wiikman and a seventh in 2011. Eriksson, 35

March 3rd, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Does anyone else feel like throwing up!!
I will if another trade with Phoenix is made….bring back korpedo and prucha
No conference call to announce that trade? You’re kidding!
From TFP: (4:48pm) Last trade of the day it appears… Ducks send Nokelainen to Coyotes for a draft pick.
ZOMG!!! WE GOT ERIKSSON!!! It was so important that not only did we have to trade a minor leaguer but also a draft pick for a washed up never-was minor leaguer!
Seriously Paulie? the end of this season? dream on. not even next year.
Kreider is not ready. Grachev has been unimpressive in Hartford and needs another year. Bourque may never make it with his size. how many concussions already? Horak is still a kid, good attitude though.
I like the future, but it aint happening that soon
you missed the key factor Doodie, he’s 35 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good day in my book.
Just a thought…could Sather have not made any moves because Gaborik is really injured and we ain’t going anywhere without his offense?
i think they need to come clean about the Gaborik ‘lower body injury’
so is it official now?
did the coyotes win today?
Staal: then why not sell Prospal and Jokinen?
Grachev has been unimpressive. But he sounds quite lazy. I don’t like to hear that about kids. Those type of prospects/players usually try to get by on talent alone. and aren’t willing to work hard to improve.
Hope I’m and others are wrong about him for the Rangers sake.
paulie, those might be the lines in 2012
I’d have to see their official tally, but it’s possible. I liked Carolina’s moves today also.
did it occur to any of you that maybe the deals that were on the table would not be helping the team, whether it be now or for thefuture? maybe the offers weren’t good enough for what sather was willing to give up. No matter what everybody on here wouldnt have been satisfied with whatever moves they made today, bc the grass is always greener on the other side.
Maybe sather did the right thing in not doing anything today instead of getting ripped off on some trades, and like people have been saying all day, there was probably nobody willing to take redden or rozsival from us, its not that simple just to “get rid of them” in a trade, and i doubt people were falling off their chairs to get vinny prospal, although he has had a good season, you cant make a deal just to make a deal it has to work, and maybe none of the deals that were on the table worked
Prospal for anything is better than keeping him for nothing.
NHL Trade Watch: Coytoes gear up as big names stay put
That was the SECOND headline under The Lead on ESPN! WOW
Steppan, Kreider, and Bourque, were some of the best players in the WJC this year. Many of the top players in this years WJC will be playing in the NHL next year. All three are very close to being NHL ready, just wait and see… Ooops I forgot, being patient is a virtue very few of you boneheads have!
new post.
Phoenix did well today, I think washington made some solid moves and LA made two nice pickups getting Modin & Halpern
I heard Brian Burke’s press conference today:
a) He was out in public
b) He described the moves he made/didnt make, in detail
c) He discussed how constricting no-trade clauses are and how they shld only be granted in “special cases”
d) He spoke graciously of his players on the team and those traded
e) He was coherent, made sense and was likable
In other words, the complete opposite of our “leader” .. get rid of Slats already!
Actually, I’ll confidently argue with anyone who may disagree that Steppan was absolutly the best player at this years WJC!
Burke is clearly not at his best right now with everything personnal he’s been throgh very recently. I could not believe he said publicly that he had a #2 pick and a #4 pick offered for Pony, but instead traded him for Luca Caputi and a #5 pick.
Why would you want Slats to do something a glairingly stupid as this??? If Caputi does not produce, the fans will distroy Burke for not getting the picks instead. Not to mention the added presure he also needlessly just put on Caputi head to produce for Toronto right away. Not very smart in my opinion, but then again you surly know much more than Sather does.
