Steve Zipay at Blue Notes looks at how other teams in the East changed this off-season...
"Reeling in Sundin, in my opinion, would make Les Habs the favorites in the East.If Sundin goes west, they haven't done much.
Pittsburgh is weakened by the losses of Hossa and Malone; the Flyers will be strong offensively again, perhaps a bit better on defense and uncertain again in goal. Ditto for Washington; I liked Cristobal Huet more than Jose Theodore.
Boston is treading water. The Devs added a winger whom many had hoped the Rangers would land: Brian Rolston; but they need more offense and improved defense, methinks. Tampa's changed the landscape as well. Ottawa's offense is formidable, but goaltending remains a question.
So who can right now say how the re-made, re-modeled Rangers will fare against this lot?"
...if the Rangers can gel early I think we've got a great chance to finish in the top 4. Question marks everywhere. Including Montreal, where, even if they get Sundin, have uncertainties in goal with Price.
