He still doesn’t understand that Holik is getting paid 9 mill a year because of the fact that he was the only center worth a damn on the 02 ufa market. He was in the middle of a huge bidding war that the Rangers won at 9 million bucks. I’ve said this many times, but it seems that no one listens to me.

Thats what Holik is a 3rd line Checking Center. They paid him all that money to be a 3rd line Center… He is not a 1st line Center by an means, and he is not a 2nd line Center. He is and always will be a 3rd line Center, thats where he wants to play thats where he has always played thats where he shoudl play.

i hope you're kidding...

the senators don't have enough to trade for crosby. they have a good prospect core, but it's not enough for crosby. they're better off without him anyway. todd white isn't anything special, vermette will be decent, and you're on crack if you think smolinski has enough trade value to be put in a trade for crosby.

holik is not a number one center, get over it. he was the lone center in the 02 ufa market, and the rangers won a very costly bidding war, that's why he's being paid 9 million. any other year and he'd never make that much.

you're wrong about moore, at best he'll be a 2nd liner.

watch out for billy ryan, he's a real crafty and creative center who's putting up great numbers in high school. his work ethic and game remind me a lot of mike york.

lmfao, kasparaitis, a star player?

you're kidding, right?

the results from the ranger team after the firesale will be very similar to the ones this year. they won a handful of games. they realistically have the best shot at crosby.

washington has a solid goaltender in olaf kolzig, and with a good season, he can get them out of the cellar. the same goes for mike dunham, but i'd bank on kolzig winning 25+ before i would on dunham.

Puritan was re-signed so he is going to play.

if you have holik playing teh 3rd line with murray and ortmeyer, then whos going to be the 2nd line center??..whos gonna be balejs center??..betts?..that wont work. then you have to to drop m. green or make him the 4th line winger, have betts play the 4th line center, and what have dominic moore play the 2nd line center..so u want the lines to look like this if they do re-sign j. green, mccarthy and rucinsky:

rucinsky-lundmark-jagr

j. green-moore-balej

murray-holik-ortmeyer

m. green-betts-mccarthy

that might happen. but i dont want holik to be gettin paid 9 mil for being a 3rd line center.

Dunham lets in weak goals. I’ve seen so many five hole goals on this guy… He played good at the start of the year, the first two months or so, but after that he just got worse and worse.

First straight to the topic of Holik, EVERYONE STOP PUTTING HIM ON THE FIRST LINE! He is going to be on the 3rd line center were he should be, I hear this all the time. END IT!

Messier should have a spot behind the bench this year as they wait for his decision.

Puritan better not be on this lineup and if he is.. it better be for 10 games total this season! HE SUCKS, they waste there money on this moron. He needs to be dropped out of the NHL.

Lundmark needs the 1st line this year to work with Jagr... I truly believe he could become a big name in this league after one year of playing with Jagr.

Lababera, SUCKS but whatever I'd play him to tell you the truth, if he is ever going to be ready now is the time, and hopefully he sucks and we drop to last and get Crosby.... But that's all a long shot.

Richter should have been one of the goaltending coaches and Graves could have signed to get on the coaching staff but turned it down. That would have had a nice look to it for the Ranger fans. .
