(User Info | Send a Message) | Not a Sens fan but if Murray makes this deal he's an idiot and should be fired on the spot. The only thing worth anything coming from the Rangers is the 1st round pick...the rest is overpaid garbage and an average at best prospect.
Sounds like wishful thinking by people in New York if you ask me...Sens would be better off just dealing Heatley for a higher 1st round pick straight up than making a deal with the Rangers and have to take their overpaid crap in return.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Must be a strike happening in New York... Cause Ottawa's picking up all their garbage.....
Then again, Bryan Murray isn't exactly the brightest light on the christmas tree.
IFF for some chance this rumour is true, New York would have 5 guys accounting for $35 million on the cap for each of the next three years. That would be suicide... |

(User Info | Send a Message) | it's obviously not ideal, but one would think that the rangers are probably the only team in the league willing to take on that 4 million dollar bonus prior to july 1st. sure they might get a better hockey deal after that, but they lose 4 million dollars.
then you have to think that maybe murray thinks zherdev can be a consistent threat playing with alfie and spezza, and that rozsival would be more deadly hidden in what is now a pretty stacked D (rozsival, phillips, kuba, volchenkov, smith, lee, picard, campoli, eriksson, potter). at least depth will never be a problem on that back-end.
finally, with the 1st rounder, they would likely draft someone like ashton carter, to go with nazem kadri. that's two-thirds of a future scoring line right there, and they'll probably play in the nhl together by the 2010/2011 season.
If this rumor is at all true, then you have to just write it off as a money issue for the sens... |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Seems to me this is more wishful thinking, at least I hope so.
It's not so bad that I would return my Sens jersey's, but I'll lead the charge for Murray's head at seasons end. I want Steve to come and run the club after he is done with the Olympics anyway.

(User Info | Send a Message) | If you think this deal is bad:
Heatley for Drury I hear from hockeybuzz.com. This would be absolute insanity, Melnyk should fire Murray and try to press charges against sabotaging the team.
If either of these deals take place, I am effectively turning into a blackhawks fan instead of a sens fan.
The roszival-zherdev deal would be decent if instead of potter, Sanguinetti, Grachev, Anismov or Del Zotto would be offered.

(User Info | Send a Message) | my goodness, this trade is absolutely sooooooooooooo bias in favour of ottawa........NOT.
they get absolutely one of the most overpaid and useless players in roszival who couldnt find his own blueline or opponent to cover.
they get a lazy floater who i guess would be a perfect sub for heatley. indeed they soooo want a me first type of guy.
they get a 1st which by all accounts is fine, but the only good asset here
and they get a noname prospect.......on a team taht has young blueliners like sanguenetti, staal, del zotto to offer.
i have to agreee with everyone else here. this is totally a ranger fan fantasizing. perhaps they should look in the mirror to look at their own excessive bias and pause on criticizing the leafs and hab fans for being that way. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | From the sens point of view this deal makes no sense. They are stacked with d-men already, and many are projecting they are gonna take Kulikov/Cowen/OEL with the 9th pick, so why would we acquire an overpaid powerplay d-man when we have a solid set of them already in Kuba, Campoli, Schubert, Picard and Karlsson. Makes no sense, plus there's no reason to acquire Cory Potter as filler for Binghampton. Second, Zherdev is an RFA right now, probly asking for big money (58 pts in 82 games will have him asking for 3-4 mil) which means that in the end, the sens ADD salary and don't get an equvalent or better package in return. The 1st round pick that late is a crap shoot, and no guarantee the sens will get a good player, though their scouting staff has a great history of late 1st round picks like Hossa, Havlat, Volchenkov, Foligno. This is pure fantasy and too similar to the Larry Brooks rumor from a few days ago to have any credibility. Despite what many of you think, Murray is not an idiot and knows what Heatley is worth. In the end, might be worth waiting to see what teams will offer after half his salary is paid and all the prize UFAs are gone. This is a comparable offer from the sens perspective:
OTT gets Dubinsky's rights, Stall, 1st in '09, 1st in '10, 1st in '11, Lundqvist
NYR gets Heatley, Schubert, Auld and a 5th in 2017.
THAT'S how lopsided this trade proposal is! |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Lately its been seeming like rangers deals are way more outrageous than leaf rumors. they seem to think Zherdev is worth a lot more than he is. NIck antropov was the rangers points leader and he was only worth a second.

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Its funny that Senators fans are saying the Rangers players are over rated and that Rangers fans are over rated them in trades. Yet the Senators finished 9th worst overall and the Rangers made the playoffs. Zherdev and Rozival plus a 1st round draft pick is plenty for Heatly. 72 pts and a -11 last year. That is hardly a franchise player worth more than the previously mentioned package. Especially since he's shown himself to be a quiter when things go bad. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | i heard that it might be heatley for drury...
as a ranger fan id rather see that
heatley, right to Neil, 4th round pick for
drury, potter, and a 2nd round pick
and we take the 4million dollar bonus off your hands on top it
personally i think the rangers would be giving up to much for rozsival, zherdev etc
this is fairer considering the 4million bonus all the senator fans want to just forget about...thats fantasy to me.... real world doesnt forget about that and the clock is ticking

(User Info | Send a Message) | AT FIRST... I wasnt even sure if i wanted the rangers to try to go after heatley. but now i HOPE it happens just to throw it in all the friggin canadien fans faces. For years now, everyone who comes to the site has had to read garbage of Steen, Wellwood, Higgins, and all your other crap players that u people dont even want being offered for stars and actually valuable players around the league. Truth be told, any of the rangers "garbage" players u keep trashing would help any of the canadien teams with the only exception being Calgary cuz theyre the only respectable team. Oh and btw, calgary fans are never the ones running their mouths or coming up with insane trades LOL. Its cuz they actually have a good team with great players and dont need to live in dreamland exaggerating about their team trying to past time until theyre actually good.
I think the real problem that has u guys all worked up isnt just about this or any other article, its that even a team like the rangers that seem to keep screwing up can make mistakes, and have the means and MONEY to work themselves out of them every time. Just look before the lockout, All u fools were so happy thinking they were finally going to be screwed and all we did was trade away all out bad contracts for the picks and prospects that are all our good players now HAHA. You guys are just pissed because nobody good ever wants to sign in canada and ur teams dont have anything good to trade for good players and now even the good players u have dont want to be there HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH |
