Here are 3 deals that will help out the Rangers.....
1. Rangers get: Patrick Sharp, Kris Versteeg
Blackhawks get: Michal Rozsival, Nikolai Zherdev, Brodie Dupont
2. Rangers get: Matt Stajan, Ian White
MapleLeafs get: Nikolai Zherdev, Dan Girardi, 2nd round pick
The last one is a three way
3. Rangers get: Mikko Koivu, Antti Miettenen
Senators get: Enver Lisin ,Michal Rozsival, Eric Belanger, Andrew Brunette
Wild get: Dany Heatley, Nikolai Zherdev, Alex Bourret
The three way makes most sense IMO.... Then you grab Anton Babchuk for 2 mil and you have a scary lineup......
Gaborik-Koivu-Callahan
Kotalik-Dubinsky-Drury
Higgins-Anisimov-Miettenen
Avery-Boyle-Brashear
let me know what you think.....
I like both 1 and 3....dont like the deal w/Toronto tho....Unfortunately, the Rangers no longer have Bourret-hes in Phx/San Antonio AHL...Babchuk I believe signed w/Carolina last week or two...I doubt Chi would trade that package for as little as you offered back to them...BUT I LIKE THOSE LINE COMBOS.
Blackhawks are looking to drop some salery. No way they would take on Rozy at 6 mill this year. the 3 or 4 mill Zherdev is asking for. I wish it was that easy.Also 2nd trade isn't much.Rather Girardi
