Rangers #8 in Yahoo! Sports Power Rankings

Ross McKeon at Yahoo! Sports gives his post free agent frenzy power rankings...

8. New York Rangers – The Rangers have never proven to be shy at this time of year, salary cap or not. They made two bold moves by giving defenseman Wade Redden $39 million for six seasons and declining forward Markus Naslund $8 million for two years. Those are a couple of significant and expensive gambles. The steady and improving Michal Rozsival looks like a steal at four years for $20 million. And speaking of gambles, New York takes on Nikolai Zherdev in a four-player trade with Columbus. This one has an upside if the enigmatic Russian finally blossoms, but Midtown Manhattan sure isn’t Middletown, Ohio.

...i'd be very happy if we ended the season the 4th best in our conference, hope McKeon is right. By the way check out who's ranked #28. Ouch!!!
