In his article on which free agents the Rangers should target, John Merrigan at The Bleacher Report says..."...if the Rangers believe that 'offensive defenseman' Bobby Sanguinetti will fulfil his hype, the Rangers could target a cheaper alternative to Brian Campbell. They could look to sign John Michael-Liles, who wouldn't demand a contract larger then $3M and would be a nice stopgap until Sanguinetti is ready."
Merrigan goes on to say...
"...Orpik may be overpriced. A better alternative could be Mike Commodore, who is essentially the same player as Orpik, but has less hype and should be cheaper."
...i like the idea of going after the cheaper alternative. For too long the Rangers organization has gone after the big money free agent and it never seems to work. Cheap doesn't always mean worse when it comes to free agents.
...if you click on the Bleacher Report link and read the whole story, the best line Merrigan has is "The Rangers also need to target a hard hitting defenseman like Brooks Orpik to the fill the void left by Paul Mara." Did he actually say fill the hard hitting void left by Paul Mara? Obviously this guy has not watched a Ranger game in the last year and a half.
