Rangers Get B+ For Off-Season Moves

In his graded look at the off-season activity of Atlantic Division teams, Wes Goldstein at CBS Sportsline gives the Rangers a B+...

"...Gaborik is a risk because of his propensity to get injured, but he has a clean bill of health and the numbers he puts up when he's not hurting can be remarkable. The Rangers need much more offense, especially with the man advantage to be taken seriously, and Gaborik has to be an important piece. So do the other newcomers Ales Kotalik and Enver Lisin, because New York will have at least nine new faces on its roster and right now no one who is an obvious choice to quarterback the extremely problematic power play. Grade: B+"

...while it pains me to give Sather high marks for the job he is doing, he actually has addressed most of the team's needs this off-season. Now if he can just somehow turn Redden into Brian Leetch we'd be in great shape.
