Speculation is surrounding the Rangers making room for Ed Jovanoski. Step one of the rumor is done, now if the Rangers trade Mara...do you think they will get Jovo? If they do what is your opinion on the transaction for both clubs?

Via John Dellapina of the Daily News:"The Daily News also has learned that Sather is shopping center Matt Cullen, with a trade back to the Carolina Hurricanes very much on the front burner. Should the Rangers shed Cullen's contract (three years left at $2.8million per), they'd trim nearly $3million   more...

According to ESPN, Mara is scheduled for facial surgery. Ouch.Ironically, Mara was the team's sole deadline acquisition last season. This development signals two things to me, A) GM Glen Sather is very unlikely to move Marek Malik, who is no longer expendable, regardless of his issues with coach   more...

Alas, The Rangers won't be acquiring Dan Boyle, who signed a long-term deal with Tampa Bay yesterday. Nor will they be trading for Barret Jackman, who signed a contract extension (details undisclosed) with the St. Louis Blues.
