Sather Talks Trade Deadline Deals

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants spoke with Glen Sather about his free agent signings...

On Marian Gaborik being a the fall back when Dany Heatley talks fell apart....

"No, they didn't fall apart. It was a complicated scenario we were dealing with. We had to have more than one ball in the air. We had to wait until today to talk to Gaborik but we had a pretty good idea he was interested in coming to New York. The contract took a long time but I'm happy he got signed."

On whether the Rangers have a #1 center...

"I wouldn't say we don't have one," Sather said. "Dubinsky is capable of being a No. 1 center. If we get a chance to get another player, we're going to do it."

On why he signed Donald Brashear over Colton Orr...

"I think Brashear gives us a couple of other things. He's quicker, he can get in on the puck a little faster. The style of game we're going to be playing, he's going to be a little more effective for us."

...center ice could be a problem for the Rangers if Betts is not re-signed and Anisimov or Korpikoski can't step-up to be the third line center.
