Rangers May Have "Won" Free Agency

Michael Farber at Sports Illustrated looks at how teams are faring with free agency and thinks the Rangers might have won already...

"If Gaborik is healthy, the New York Rangers might have "won" free agency because the lowest scoring team in the Eastern Conference (with the Islanders) added a potential 40-goal scorer. The Rangers also foisted Scott Gomez's five remaining years at a $7.35 million annual salary cap hit to Montreal while getting left wing Chris Higgins and two defenseman, Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko, who should play in the NHL. If a creaky knee or coach John Tortorella's tough love bother Gaborik, however, the Rangers have spun their wheels."

...i've got to give Sather a lot of credit so far this off-season, now if he can only get rid of Redden all will be forgotten.
