Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that talks between the Rangers and Brandon Dubinsky went nowhere today, and it appears the center will keep training elsewhere without an 11th-hour breakthrough...
"We met with Glen (Sather) again this morning and couldn't reach an accord," Dubinsky's agent Kurt Overhardt said a few minutes ago. "He really wants to to play, but we're in a holding pattern." Several offers were discussed today, but Overhardt said that "unless the Rangers call, it's status quo. Our expectations are not great."
...this is not good.
...Dubinsky is really going to be behind the 8-ball fitness wise if he misses the first few days of camp as Tortorella is going to work these guys hard early in camp. Although maybe this is Dubinsky's strategy to get out of doing Tortorella's famed wind sprints.
...then again I should just be happy if he signs at all. Because the way negotiations are going I can't even positively say he'll be in a Rangers uniform this year.
