Willing to Give up Korpedo?

From Ryan McFadden at Blueshirt Banter:
I made a pitch for Frolov at this years trade deadline. He’s a perfect fit for the Rangers as he’s a big strong goal scoring winger who most importantly has low cap hit. Frolov has notched 30 or more goals twice in the past three seasons. He’s believed to be available for trade and if the Kings do decide to go after Dany Heatley, there’s little doubt Frolov would be involved. It should be said first that this trade is completely dependant on what direction Dean Lombardi is going to take the Kings this season. There was a wide spread rumor that he had traded his 5th overall pick and Jack Johnson for Chris Pronger but it was shot down by Lombardi himself. A trade of that magnitude would signal that the Kings are no longer rebuilding and looking to stockpile draft picks and young talent. However, if Lombardi is looking for one more year of development and rebuilding, this trade would be perfect sense.
The Kings would get the Rangers 19th overall pick which would give them two 1st round picks. They would also get Lauri Korpikoski who is a solid 3rd liner at this stage of his young career. There has been some talk amongst Rangers fans that Sather should trade down since they are in a weak draft position for what they need.

Not sure what Ranger fans are smoking? Last week it was about trading Gomez (almost as easy as trading Briere), now its talk of trading for Frolov. The Rangers have almost nothing of value… and what they do have is way over priced in bloated contracts (see Gomez, Drury).
The rangers made their beds with those contracts, now they are going to have to sleep in them. I mean 7.5 million for Gomez until 2013-2014!! 7 million for Drury until 2011-2012!
Oh, and other thing. Having Redden and Rozisival each signed up for a combined 11.5 million for a shitload of years is not going to help much when they are not even the best defensemen on your team. Staal is not going to be playing for 800,000 a year forever. Good luck getting rid of the Redden and Rozisival contracts!
Damn. What a poorly managed team.
