Renney on Kasparaitis Waiver Decision

from the Rangers Report,
“We’re trying to help him,” Renney said. “I don’t see Kaspar playing hockey for us, and we’ll do everything we can to help him play somewhere else. And if not, he’ll go to Hartford, and in the kind of condition he’s in, and the mental approach he’s taken, you never know.”
I asked Renney if he still thought Kasparaitis could play at the NHL level, and the coach said he believed he could. Bear in mind it’s in the Rangers’ best interest to have another team pick him up off waivers, so it wouldn’t make sense for the coach to elaborate on all of Kasparaitis’ deficiencies. But the answer merits passing on.

About a week ago, Kasparaitis said he’d set himself the goal of playing for Russia at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. But I don’t foresee him appearing in his fifth straight Games now. The Russians could really use a ten-years-younger version of Kasparaitis for 2010, as they’re not producing many quality hard-rock defensemen.
