Rumors: Zherdev or Dubinsky to Be Moved for Sundin

Eklund at HockeyBuzz reports...

"Look for either Zherdev or Dubinsky to be moved out if they can land Sundin...The Oilers have been very talkative with the Rangers recently. I wouldn't be surprised if either were to be moved to Edmonton."

....sorry Mr. Eklund wrong again. It's probably going to take about $6-7 million a year to get Sundin and with the Rangers limited cap space, taking Zherdev's $2.5 million or Dubinsky's $633,333 off the books won't open enough cap space to sign Sundin.

...because of the Rangers cap situation, they actually might have difficulty signing both Zherdev and Dubinsky this off-season, but no way they're trading two young talents to make room for an aging super star. Those days are over on Broadway.

Where does this guy get his trade rumors from?! Trading either of these two players would be a mistake for the Rangers. I look at Sundin the same way as Shanahan. Signing either of them and getting rid of young talent is just ridiculous.

The only way I can see the Rangers looking to move either one of these two is if they feel they won't be able to get Dubi and Zherdev signed under the cap next year and they want at least get something for them.

That's just it, if another team signs either Dubinsky or Zherdev, we would get a nice compensation package and not be left empty handed. I have a feeling that both will be signed, and Rozsival will be in Ottawa or somewhere.
