What We Have Here Is a Failure to Communicate

Larry Brooks at the New York Post says that Glen Sather needs to fill Jaromir Jagr in on the Rangers plan...

"THE New York Rangers ' perfect 2008-09 world would feature Jaromir Jagr and Mats Sundin combining forces on the first line with Chris Drury moving to left wing to skate with Scott Gomez on the second unit.

It's anybody's guess why Glen Sather hasn't made the effort to communicate that vision to Jagr, who has every right to be miffed over what can politely be described as the GM's cavalier approach to the captain's impending free agency, but trust me, the Rangers will be giddy if they can retain Jagr and unite him with Sundin."

Brooks also reports that Chris Drury would have no problem moving to the wing on the second line with Gomez.

Dubi at the Blueshirt Bulletin says not to laugh at Brooks' master plan as he predicted on the same day last year that the Rangers were targeting both Gomez and Drury.

...if Sather can get away with one year deals for Sundin and Jagr, as well as re-signing Avery (hey Glen did you see the deal that Malone just got, pay Avery his money), I'd be pretty happy with that.

...then he'd have to sign some defensemen. If he's fully recovered I wouldn't mind seeing Rozsival back, but they better get a physical defenseman as well like a Commodore.
