from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, If Rangers general manager Glen Sather is interested in reuniting with Ryan Smyth by acquiring Edmonton’s veteran left wing to bolster the attack, the feeling may well be a reciprocal one, The Post has learned. A well-placed source told The Post that Smyth, who was drafted sixth overall in 1994 by Sather and then played the first five years under his direction while he was general manager of the Oilers, would give serious consideration to waiving his no-move clause in order to pursue a Cup on Broadway. The Eastern Conference-leading Rangers, who have scored 17 goals in their last nine games and have been limited to two goals or fewer in 20 of their 49 matches, are seeking to add both scoring punch and a defenseman in advance of the Feb. 27 trade deadline. continued

Tortorella Cutting Brad Richards Too Much Slack

I feel like the span between these posts about Brad Richards has become smaller and smaller as the season passes by, which, for obvious reasons, is not a good thing for the Rangers' big free agent splash this past summer. Richards was brought here for several reasons, but the most prevalent included his playmaking abilities, his presence at the point on the powerplay and his...

Rangers acquire Casey Wellman from Wild for Erik Christensen and 7th round pick

It looks like the Rangers have at least temporarily solved their surplus forward problem, as they have dealt Erik Christensen and a 7th round pick in 2012 to the Wild for Casey Wellman. Christensen had been a spare part for the Rangers for a long time, and hadn’t played in a NHL game since December 17. The enigmatic and inconsistent center had once shown some chemsitry with...

Sittler talks Gagner's 'magical' night

Darryl Sittler knows exactly how Sam Gagner felt. ''Everything falls into place,'' he said. ''Every shot you take pretty well goes in or you make a pass and the guy completes it. It's magical those types of nights. They don't happen very often.'' Gagner finished with eight points -- four goals, four assists -- in Edmonton's 8-4 victory...

Sittler congratulates Oilers' Gagner on 8-point night

Sam Gagner had an unbelievable night - and Darryl Sittler knows that all too well. Gagner collected four goals and four assists in the Edmonton Oilers' 8-4 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday. With the memorable evening, Gagner matched the Edmonton mark for points in a game previously shared by Hall of Famers Wayne Gretzky (twice) and Paul Coffey. He also became...

Rangers trade Erik Christensen for Casey Wellman

The Rangers announced that they have traded Erik Christensen and a conditional seventh round pick to the Wild for forward Casey Wellman. Wellman, 24, was assigned to the Connecticut Whale. More to come.

Not the Right Fit

This is exactly what could be said of former New York Rangers’ forward Erik Christensen. There is no doubt that Christensen had a lot of offensive potential. He is a great passer, solid in the shootout and has good vision. With that said, Christensen never used the above-mentioned talents on a consistent basis. When he was not hurt, Christensen often found himself in head...

Richard Cloutier: Ales is Wonderland

Somedays being a small fish in a big pond sucks. There is much more to the Ales Hemsky situation that what's apparent and obvious to the masses. And just what do the masses know? - Ales Hemsky becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1st if the Oilers don't re-sign him first. - Hemsky is playing like a man who wants to be dealt. - The Oilers don't seem that...

Hail to the king

BUFFALO — Not for nothing, but the Rangers will take nothing-nothing down to the wire every time. “It seemed like a grind the whole way, a game of hitting, blocking shots, coming down to the last shot,” Dan Girardi, a rock on the blue line, said after another throwback Norris-type game...
