Rangers In Need Of A Center And Power Play Point Man

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
It’s far better for the Rangers to be patient while surveying an unimposing market that includes comparatively cheap, short-term alternatives such as Brendan Morrison, Robert Lang or Mike Comrie, should it come to that, than rush into a bad contract carrying a long-term commitment to, say, a Saku Koivu.
If Sather isn’t necessarily charged with obtaining a ready-made first-line center before camp commences please, no Mats (Inside Straight) Sundin—the general manager does have an obligation to address the situation at the power play point, also known as the black hole.
For if the Blueshirts are counting on either Michal Rozsival or Wade Redden to be dramatically better than they were last season (and, in Rozsival’s case, the year before last, as well), they are setting themselves up for disappointment and failure.
To that end, Sather is likely to check in on old buddy Sergei Zubov.

Dubinsky did it with Jagr… lets see if he can do it with Gaborik.

Yeah, you need both of those still, but you have 7 RFA’s and 7 forwards/6 d-men signed for next year with 16.5 million to spend. good luck.
