Does Sundin Make Sense?

Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report doesn't think so...

"The other consideration here is that center is the one area this off-season the Rangers DON’T need to address, but bringing in Sundin might just give the Rangers the excuse to try Chris Drury at wing, which they tinkered with in spots down the stretch.

So I don’t think it’s a question of position as it is a philosophy. I’m not one of those people who thinks a team needs to field a team full of 23-year-olds, but I do think if you’re going to look outside your organization to strengthen yourself, you’re better served investing in a player who can give you more than a year."

...not sure why the Rangers need an excuse to try Drury at wing. Drury has been a center his whole career, and a successful one at that, why the Rangers would consider bringing in a 37 year-old to replace him at center is beyond me.
