Say No to Orpik

Stu Hackel at Slap Shot says...

"But the Rangers’ needs on defense are great, and a true, experienced power play quarterback to reverse their flaccid results with the man advantage (22nd in the NHL during the regular season; their road power play during the playoffs at 9.5 percent was second-worst in the tourney) should be a top priority. Orpik, effective as he can be in some aspects of the game, is not that guy."

...I'd have to disagree with Hackel here. What the Rangers need is some snarl on the blueline. Although not at the $4 or $5 million he is projected to get.

...as long as the coaching staff can convince Rozsival to shoot the puck, I have no problem with the Rangers bringing him back as a pointman on the power play. Plus he'd come cheap after a so-so year.
