Some Hockey Signings and Trades

I think Brashear is overrated and losing Gomez was stupid. Wish the Rangers would trade their coach.

Nick I agree, Brashear is over-rated, but they did not lose Gomez. They gave him away for lesser talent. It was a salary cap move, and although Gaborik could be a sniper, he has to prove he can play every day. He hasn't played more than 65 games a year in the last few years.

Tortorella is not the problem. Remember he was only in power at the trade deadline last year. Give him a full training camp + 40 games, then we can evaluate him.

I think chris higgens is a much talented player.. Gomez really hasn't been performing as well as he did on the devils.

And as for ricky.. i kinda like him sitting up in the box seats all season, it looks good for him. Now that we have roloson, put him as number 1 and danis as number 2. (yes im an islanders fan).. i just hate DP.

Actually I think Gomez was overrated for the Rangers and getting Brashear was stupid. IMHO he's a dirty player
and brings nothing to the table but trouble. Just not feeling it.

Hopefully Gaborik won't be a dud, and we'll see more exciting plays like this...

I know but he proved he could play when it counted. Remember in hockey it doesn't take a whole lot to get to the post season. After that is when in counts. Which we saw how the Rangers failed miserably against the Caps.

Remember he was only in power at the trade deadline last year. Give him a full training camp + 40 games, then we can evaluate him.

Tru but I don't like him, he seems to me not to have the respect of his players and he says some dumb stuff. The other day he was quoted as saying that only Henrik's job is safe and every line is up for grabs. I think that was incredibly dumb. If you want to think that fine, don't say it in the press. Coming off a monumental collapse you want to inspire some confidence not throw things into disarray.
