Rangers React To Trades

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports...

Told of the Dallas trade of Mike Smith, Jeff Halpern and Jussi Jokinen to Tampa for Brad Richards and Johan Holmqvist, Henrik Lundqvist's reaction was; "Two forwards going. That might be good for my brother." Twin brother Joel is a forward for the Stars who's been in and out of the lineup.

"Washington got better," said goaltender Steve Valiquette, with the acquisition of Montreal's Cristobal Huet. "A few years ago, he was one of the top five in the league."

When I asked Jaromir Jagr to tell Sean Avery that Cam Janssens, to whom he once referred as "that meathead from Jersey" was traded to St. Louis, Jagr said; "He (Sean) knows; he's got text messages."

...locker room seems pretty loose as 3pm draws near. Zipay also reported that, with the exception of the injured Mara and Orr, everyone was at practice today.
