Larry Brooks at the New York Post says...
"The New Jersey Devils as well as the cap-challenged Flyers are expected to be in the Eastern Conference mix for Brian Campbell. But the Rangers are far more likely to re-up Michal Rozsival and go after Brooks Orpik and perhaps Mark Streit than they are to get in on the bidding for the San Jose defenseman who is believed seeking at least $7 per season."
...I'd have to agree with Brooks here. No way we should be overpaying for Campbell who looked terrible in the playoffs this year.
...if Sather can give Rozsival a contract that includes a shots-on-the-power-play incentive, I'm all in. And where do I sign to get Orpik on this team. Defense pairings next year...
Rozsival-Staal
Tyutin-Girardi
Orpik-Hutchinson/Pock
...I know, Hutchinson and Pock? But I think the Rangers should give these two a chance next year. Both have offensive talent and have been successful on the power play. By not overpaying for a Campbell type offensive defensman this leaves us plenty of money to re-sign Avery and Jagr and possibly pick-up a scoring winger. Marian Hossa anyone?
