from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Henrik Lundqvist, who shares the distinction with Michal Rozsival of being the only two players who have been Rangers since the first training camp following the lockout, is under no illusions about what’s ahead in his fifth season on Broadway.
“I didn’t think we were going to be one of the top teams at the start because of all the new guys we brought in over the summer and the time it was going to take everyone to get used to a new system,” The King told The Post. “Now it looks like it’s going to be a year where it’s going to be a battle to make the playoffs.
“If you look at the standings you can see that there are a lot of teams in the middle. We’re one of them. We’re not up with Washington or Pittsburgh. We’re going to have a fight on our hands the whole year to make it.”

Until the Rangers find a way to dump either Chris Drury or Michael Rosival, there is nothing they can do. They take up 12.05 million dollars. Quite frankly Tortorella cannot do anything until he can jettison some of that monetary dead weight. With Anisimov starting to play well, Drury has become the most expensive third-line center in the league. And with the emergence of the youthful blueline, and the relative resurrection of Wade Redden, Rosival is worthless, especially when you have to consider that both Dan Girardi and Marc Staal are RFAs this summer. It’s time to bury him in the minors, then buy him out over the summer, and suffer the million or so cap-hit for the following four years.
