I guess John Buccigross at ESPN felt like riling up Rangers fans this morning by floating this...Before I go get a flowcut, I want to hear from Rangers & Sharks fans. I heard a Dan Boyle for Marian Gaborik trade almost happened. Thoughts— John Buccigross (@Buccigross) July 17, 2012 The 36-year old Boyle, who has a no trade clause, had 9g, 39a for the Sharks last year.

Boyle has two years left on his current contract that pays him $6.6 million per.Gaborik, who also has a no trade clause, is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and is expected to be out until November....not sure how this makes sense for either team. Why would the Sharks give up an offensive defenseman for damaged goods? And why would the Rangers trade away their only proven scorer for a player on the down side of his career?...we don't know how Gaborik is going to recover from surgery, but I'd much rather take a chance on him regaining...

A lockout might a good thing for the Rangers

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  July 18, 2012
As was the case seven years ago, the NHL owners and players are very far apart heading into the final months of labor negotiations prior to the scheduled open of the 2012-2013 season.  If there aren’t some serious compromises by both sides, it’s unlikely that the season will start on time. While that’s an unpleasant thought for Rangers fans, it also might be a good thing for...

Rangers got deeper

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  July 17, 2012
The Rangers were eliminated in the Eastern conference finals against the Devils for a few reasons. Most fans question the lack of goal scoring and high end skill and rightly so. The fact that the Rangers still haven’t gone out and addressed this frustrates many, even though Glen Sather has been right to not over react. Then there is the theory that the Rangers may have run out...

What other players might come to New York in a Rick Nash trade?

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  July 16, 2012
As Dave noted last week in our ongoing discussion about Rick Nash, it’s very possible that Nash wouldn’t be the only Blue Jacket coming back to the Rangers in a potential blockbuster trade this summer. There have been wide-ranging reports of Columbus GM Scott Howson’s trade demands, but the general consensus seems to be that he wants a couple of NHL forwards, a top prospect...

Checking for a pulse

What a strange set of circumstances the New York Rangers and their fans find themselves in. It's the middle of July and I never thought that I would say how much I can't stand all this quiet out of the New York Rangers. All these years of making some kind of splash with free agency and this year the Rangers have been spectators. I almost feel like a hypocrite because...
