Rangers Play It Safe At Trade Deadline

Sather has established a pattern of making deals which upgrade troubled areas instead of trying to change the face of the organization all at once. These low-risk/high-reward moves have paid off in getting the Rangers to the playoffs two years in a row while not risking the future. The Rangers of the 21st century no longer trade the farm for Eric Lindros or Pavel Bure and instead they have waited until July to add the big names like Brandon Shanahan, Scott Gomez, and Chris Drury.
