Sam Weinman at the Rangers Report was on a conference call with Glen Sather and reported this...- He reiterated there was no thought to trading Jaromir Jagr. Asked if he wanted to re-sign Jagr, Sather said, “We’ll see how things develop…I love the way he’s been playing.” As for Michal Rozsival and Sean Avery, Sather said he will continue to negotiate with both players over the coming weeks, but he did express confidence in being able to re-sign them.
...while I don't think the trades today made us better, I'm happy to say they didn't make us worse either. Which was something I was very worried about going into today and relieved about after the dealine had passed.
...thrilled to hear Sather say he didn't want to compromise the Rangers future by trading away young players and prospects. Sather could have easily made a big splash today by trading Dawes, Callahan or Sanguinetti for a Hossa, or a Campbell or a Richards, but he didn't which should make every Ranger fan confident that Sather will continue developing young players in an effort to make the Rangers competitive year after year.

I agree, I'm glad we didn't give up any youth. However, I do think the Rangers are a little better than they were yesterday. I think our 4th line should be better, I was glad to read that Sjostrom has 2 short handed goals, which means he's a penalty killer which should help. Maybe we'll see less of Shanny on the kill, which I think would help keep his legs a little fresher.
I think our defense is better. I mean I love Strudwick's effort and he's abilty to fight and he's new moustach, but Backman has got to be an upgrade.
