Rangers Need A Scorer

from Jay Greenberg of the NY Post,
The Rangers can’t afford to open it up more with defensemen who have minimal offensive ability. They cannot pretend that Markus Naslund is any longer the player he was in Vancouver, nor can they expect that veteran B or B-plus players will morph into team-carrying players this late in their careers.
Sather, responsible for this big miscalculation, can keep Zherdev, an upcoming restricted free agent, or save that cap room for somebody more often going to show up.
But unless the Rangers swallow Redden’s cap-choking contract for five long years, there will be little maneuverability to sign the level of scorer the team badly needs.
And making a coaching change isn’t going to bring him.
more about the Rangers…

Well, we have known this for a while. This team has not had a consistent scorer since Jagr had his last big season goal season with the team. The problem is finding one… I suspect the Rangers will be looking Marian Gaborik’s way July 1st. Which I’m not sure is the right move, Gaborik’s injuries make him a major risk. We’ll see what happens I guess.
