Rangers Need Something

That's what Scott Burnside thinks at ESPN.com...

"...Sather must decide what he is going to do with agitator Sean Avery, who can become an unrestricted free agent, and captain Jaromir Jagr, who can become an unrestricted free agent unless he reaches 84 points and New York wins at least one playoff round.

The thinking is both will remain Rangers at least beyond the trade deadline, but that will force Sather to consider moving other assets to improve his club. His primary concern will be finding a puck-moving defenseman. One thing seems clear -- this is a team that needs something."

...I agree with Burnside that this team needs something, but I hope Sather doesn't feel that this team needs somethings and overpays for numerous rental players. I don't think that will happen and my hope is that he'll make a few subtle moves like last year with Avery and Mara.
